Acoma Pueblo miniature offering pottery dish by D. Reano (Dean Reano / Divine Reano) is a small, handcrafted traditional pottery pieces by Dean and/or Divine Reano, a married couple of Acoma Pueblo potters (with Dean also having Kewa/Santo Domingo and Sioux heritage).
Dean Reano (b. 1956) and Divine Reano (b. 1959) are known for both larger works and exceptionally fine miniatures (often under 2 inches, sometimes as small as 1 inch or less).
They use traditional Acoma methods: fine white clay sourced locally, hand-coiled and shaped (no wheel), slipped, polished, and painted with natural mineral pigments (typically black, red/brown, and white). Pieces are traditionally fired outdoors.
Dean often focuses on animal/human figures; Divine on intricate geometric designs. Both collaborate on forming the vessels. Their work is signed “Acoma / D. Reano” or similar.
