Acoma Pueblo Hand Coiled Pottery Seed Pot

Bernard and Sharon Lewis are a married couple and members of one of the two Lewis families at Acoma Pueblo. A source of confusion for many is the fact that there are two unrelated Lewis families at Acoma. The most famous, of course, is the Lucy Lewis family. However, there is another accomplished Lewis family -- that of Katherine Lewis and her children: Marilyn Henderson Ray, Carolyn Concho, Diane Lewis, Judy Lewis, Rebecca Lucario and Bernard Lewis and his wife, Sharon. Like all members of this family, Bernard and Sharon work with many different colors of paints. Each of the children however, has a distinctive style. Bernard is a potter only and he specializes in pots with three dimensional lizards creeping in and about the pot. Sharon then does the painting of Bernard's pots. Sharon also makes her own pots, always seedpots, decorated with very well painted designs. They are a most talented couple in a very creative family. This piece is signed.
