Description
Jemez potter Gabriel Gonzales, to our knowledge, is the only potter out of Jemez creating black on black pottery in the Santa Clara style. This piece, created in the same method as those among Santa Clara Pueblo potters, showcases a black base with black paint on top, the base polished to a high shine and the paint, matte. Geometric patterns are painted along nearly the entire surface of the piece, which takes a unique shape with a handle on each side. 5 1/4″ tall x 4 1/2″ wide.
