In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we’ve been highlighting Native American art from the @metamericanwing with Met curator Patricia Marroquin Norby (Purépecha).

Today, on the last day of the month, she reflects on this black-on-black jar created by Maria and Julian Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo):

"Standing over 11 inches high, this hand-coiled black-on-black jar elegantly converges centuries-old Tewa pottery traditions and 20th-century artistic innovations.

An embodiment of the artists’ homeplace, this pot’s carefully harvested clay, stone-polished slip, and images of rainclouds and Avanyu, the water serpent, all reference the Tewa pueblo Po-Woh-Geh-Owingeh’s (San Ildefonso) proximity to the Rio Grande and the sacredness of water in the semi-arid climate of northern New Mexico."

🎨 Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo, 1881-1980) and Julian Martinez (San Ildefonso, 1885-1943). Black-on-Black Jar, 1919-1920. Clay and slip. On view in Gallery 746. #NAHM
