Santo
Domingo Pueblo Pot
(FCHP221)
1925-1950
Santo Domingo is located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. As they do in
nearby Cochiti, Santo Domingans speak
Keres and their village is called Kihwa or Kiva in their own language.
They produce distinctive pottery noted for its use of
red in the designs. The designs usually are not divide into independent
motifs and are heavier than those of
Kiva polychrome or Cochiti wares. Since 1900, potters have applied the
slip with a rag instead of painting it on.
Then they polish the pot's surface with a stone.
