Santo Domingo Pueblo (now known as Kewa Pueblo) pottery is a traditional Native American art form from New Mexico, prized for its hand-coiled construction using local buff-colored clay, often finished with a cream slip and bold polychrome designs in black, red, and sometimes other earth tones. Common motifs include geometric patterns, flowers, leaves, birds, and abstract elements. Most classic forms—like large storage ollas, dough bowls, or water jars—lack handles due to the elastic quality of the clay and their functional purposes.
