    The pottery of Acoma
    is strongly recognized for fluted rims, thin walls and geometric design. Potters of the pueblo implement similar techniques found in the local region, from collecting of the clay material from limited sources, forming the vessel for specific use, decorating with patterns and design by hand, to firing the pot at high temperature.
    The pottery of Acoma, aside from its prized artistic value, was originally functional.  Pottery provided storage, cooking, and eating.  Water jugs were used by the men of Acoma for long hunting trips or camping.  Other pots were used as seed pots to store seeds for planting in the coming years.  Today the pottery of Acoma is not only revered and collector for its unique artistic characteristics but also because of its immensely rich historical value.
