Black on Cream Aguilar Jar [R]

The Aguilar sisters were recognized as master potters long before they created the bold black, and black and red designs we attribute to them today. Their first works were traditional Santo Domingo Polychrome in design and layout but were among the finest being produced at the pueblo in the late 1800s and very early 1900s. Their handling of the design style, their precision with paints, and the overall geometries were unequalled. The jar is in excellent condition with very limited restoration of slip at the lower framing line.
