Eva Histia Striking Acoma Owl Effigy Pot/Classic
Eva Histia, the famous matriarch of Acoma pottery has hand coiled and hand painted this owl effigy figure. The figure is large and very impressive up close, measuring 9 inches high by 7 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep and gives off an almost life-like aura. Eva is truly famous for her owl figures and owning one of her creations is a must for any serious collection of American Indian pottery.
In a sad turn of events, Eva passed away around Christmas 2005. The last time she is known to have produced pottery was November of that year. The owl offered here is one of the pots that she brought at that time. I was grateful and happy to acquire one of those owls and offer it to collectors.
In her lifetime, Eva had won a good number of awards in juried competition, including the prestigious Indian Market in Santa Fe. She has been featured in Dr. Gregory Schaaf's authoritative book Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies.
