This handcrafted red and cream pottery vessel is by C. G. Loretta of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico. The pot displays bold geometric patterns in cream contrasted against a rich red slip, with motifs inspired by traditional Pueblo designs, including stepped and spiral elements symbolizing natural and spiritual forces. The artist's signature is inscribed on the base, "C. G. Loretta Jemez." The form reflects traditional Pueblo olla-style vessels adapted into contemporary decorative pottery. The Jemez Pueblo is renowned for its revival of traditional pottery in the 20th century, when artists began hand-coiling and stone-polishing redware and creamware using ancient methods. Designs are typically applied with natural pigments and often reflect sacred landscapes, rain, clouds, and migration patterns. Loretta's work continues this tradition, blending cultural symbolism with fine craftsmanship.
