Whiteford catalogue entry - bet. 1993 & 1995 - "The pottery of this small Keres-speaking Pueblo on the Rio Jemez never equalled the wares of the its linguisitic relative and neighbour, Zia. Bulbous jars with short necks, like this one, were typical, and the ware was thick, with temper of river-worn sand. The design motifs tended to be large, heavy and solid, enclosed between two framing lines, and painted with dark red, outlined with black on a gray-white slip. Some complex designs were produced between 1800 and 1850 but pottery-making declined and ceased in 1940, except for Eudora Montoya, who kept the art alive until a revival in the 1970s." |
