Hand Coiled Turtle with Baby Turtle on His Back and Painted Black and Terracotta Colors in a Geometric Design Signed Kopote Acoma N.M.

In Very Good Condition

Acoma Pueblo pottery is renowned for its thin-walled construction, fine-line black-on-white designs, and intricate geometric or nature-inspired patterns, often made using traditional hand-coiling and natural clay/pigments from the Acoma area in New Mexico. 

Turtle effigy figurines and vessels are a popular form in Acoma (and other Pueblo) pottery. They symbolize longevity, protection, and the earth in many Native traditions. "Double piggyback" likely refers to a sculptural piece where two smaller turtles ride on the shell of a larger one—a charming, whimsical style seen in modern Pueblo figurative pottery.
