Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo Interior and Exterior Design Serving Bowl - C3819F
Santo Domingo Polychrome is a typology designation that has been used for over a hundred years. Now that the pueblo has gone back to using its ancestral name, Kewa, there could be some confusion as to whether Santo Domingo Polychrome or Kewa Polychrome is the correct typological designation. Most likely, Santo Domingo Polychrome will continue to be used until there is an official recognition of a typology name change, which is not likely.
This bowl is typical of the size of a food serving bowl. It is slipped on the interior with a polished cream finish, has a single design element in the bottom, has a black rim with the traditional ceremonial line break, and a red clay polished underbody. There is no rag-wiped red band just below the design field.
