Category: Pottery | Posted by | Tue, May 30th 2017, 3:37pm
A very large, rare Santo Domingo Pueblo black-on-red pottery dough bowl. The interior is decorated with a "lazy V" design at the rim, under which is a continuous band of clouds. In the bottom of the inside is a dual floral design.
Black-on-red pottery at Kewa Pueblo appears to have had its beginning around 1880 or a little later. Whether it was a single family or not has not been determined. It is known that the Aguilar sisters made Black-on-red in the late 19th century (probably from 1890 to 1915) but whether they were the first is not known.
