Tesuque Pueblo Pot
(FCHP244)
1850-1875
Tesuque Pueblo, just north of Santa Fe, is one of the Tewa villages For
decades it produced polychrome pottery much like that of other tribes in
the area, with black designs on a white-slip back-ground and a red
underbody.
Tesuque designs include fingerlike feathers, white rectangles in black
areas, and crosshatching,
often on diagonal stripes. Around 1910 the pottery there degenerated to
souvenir items for the nearby Santa Fe market.
