Santo Domingo Pueblo, Kewa Polychrome, Unsigned Pot
$195.00
This lovely Kewa Polychrome Pot, though unsigned, is a beautiful example of the pottery Santo Domingo artists have produced since the late 1800's. The motif features black geometric designs in vertical panels painted on a cream-colored slip body with a solid red slip underneath. I believe this pot dates from the 1970's when the Santo Domingo pueblo saw a revival in demand for their beautiful artwork, largely driven by artist Robert Tenorio. Please note: though I am very sure this is a Santo Domingo piece; I do not believe it is a Robert Tenorio piece. This pot is hand coiled; it stands approx. 4 3/4 inches tall and the lip is approx. 4 1/2 inches in diameter. The widest point of the pot is approx. 4 1/2 inches wide and the base is approx. 2 1/8 inches in diameter. There is evidence of the use of anchoring clay on the base to hold the pot securely in place for display on a shelf. There are no evident chips, cracks or repairs to the pot or loss of paint to the design. The creme colored body has evidence of some soiling appropriate for age and use. This is a lovely example of this genre of Native American Art and would be a lovely addition to any collection. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
