Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo Polychrome Small Serving Bowl [R]

This is a very traditional Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo polychrome serving bowl dating from the pre 1950 period. It features traditional rag-wiped bentonite slip, black rim around the top and black framing lines just under the rim and under the decorated area. The design is the traditional six-pointed stars encircling the body of the bowl. A ceremonial break occurs in the black rim and in the framing line near the base, but does not penetrate the design panel.

The bowl is in very good condition. There is no evidence that it was use at the pueblo before being sold to a collector.
