Featured in this lot is this Santa Clara Pueblo, Black and Black, Carmel Romero pottery jar. The jar shows iconic 'Black and Black' construction traditionally crafted by the Santa Clara Pueblo Indians. The pots show the artist’s signature on the bottom of the pot with identification, showing this pottery artist is from the Santa Clara Pueblo Indians. Potters at the pueblo were making many pieces of black pottery in the late 1800s for tourists and nearby households in Santa Fe and Espanola. Santa Clara potters used a decorating method not used by other pueblos—that is they impressed a design into the wet clay, such as bear paw designs. Additionally, the potters at Santa Clara made red pottery and polychrome, too. The condition of this Santa Clara Pueblo pot is good with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this pot are 1 3/4" x 6" x 6".(30033)
