Description

Santa Clara Pueblo pottery is a world-renowned form of Native American ceramic art, famous for its polished black and red wares with deep, hand-carved designs. The Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico utilizes ancient, non-glaze, coil-building techniques to create these distinctive vessels. Key stylistic elements include deeply incised bear paw and other traditional symbols, and the pots are known for their quality polish and thick walls, which allow for intricate carving. These pots were created by Veronica and Mida Tafya and were donated by David Hamra and Laura Walton.
