How

  Wilfred
Garcia, Jr. was
born into the Acoma Pueblo in 1954 and was inspired to learn the
art of working with clay from his mother-in-law, the late Stella
Shutiva. She taught him all the fundamentals of working with clay
and using the ancient traditional methods that have been passed
down from generation to generation.

This seedpot is different from other corn pots that Wilfred
has done in that there is a feather laying on the corn and
a paw print to the right of the feather. The corn
leaf raises up off of the pot's surface providing a true
three dimensional presentation. Not unlike a musician
there is variation applied in each performance which keeps
the piece alive and fresh. This white ware seedpot is 7.5
inches tall by 7 inches wide. Your
