Sky City
Historic black and white Acoma pottery, prized by collectors for generations, inspired the eye-catching geometrics of our Sky City pattern. Acoma Pueblo, also called Sky City is located on a mesa high above the valley floor west of Albuquerquesa, New Mexico. It's one of the oldest inhabited dwellings in the U.S. The decorated pottery for which the Acoma people have been known since 15th century is among the purest of North American Indian Art forms - virtually unchanged in execution and design for six centuries. Acoma pottery is famous for its thin walls and dramatic black and white designs, which reflect the cultures of the prehistoric Mimbres and Anasazi, both ancestors of the Acoma. Unnapped, sueded trim. 82% wool/18% cotton. Dry clean. Made in the USA.
