NATIVE AMERICAN SANTO DOMINGO KEWA HUMMINGBIRD POTTERY BOWL BY ROSE PACHECO

Description

Born in 1968, Rose Pacheco made her first pottery figures while working with her parents when she was seven years old.  When her mother’s health started failing, Rose and her Navajo boyfriend Billy Veale stepped in and assumed the family’s pottery making business. They both make, paint and fire the pots.  A unique addition to any pottery or Native American art collection.

Santo Domingo pueblo one of the largest of the Northern pueblos.  Santo Domingo pottery can be distinguished by its buff colored clay, cream slip, and dark black geometric designs.  The elastic clay at Santo Domingo lends itself to large forms such as storage jars, dough bowls, and large ollas.  The designs are mainly geometric with particular attention to the negative spaces.  Occasionally there will also be elaborate bird motifs and polychrome designs.
