Acoma Pueblo pottery signed “P. Iule” (or “P. Iule / Acoma, N.M.”) is work by a late-20th-century Acoma potter, most commonly identified in museum records as Pat Iule and in some commercial listings as Phillip Iule.

Phillip is Son of Horace Iule, a noted Acoma artisan who also produced pottery and small effigies and continued the Iule family’s pottery tradition, working during the late 20th century (ca. 1975–2000)

Phillip Iule is best known for miniature seed jars, effigies, and small sculptural forms. His work is consistently described as: Thin‑walled Acoma pottery with a white or cream “slate‑like” clay body Polychrome decoration (black, white, red/orange) Mimbres‑inspired motifs, especially:Lizards, Fish, Birds, Turtles, Double‑headed creatures, Geometric and fine‑line patterns. His works are hand‑coiled and hand‑painted, not mass‑produced.
