Florence Pajarito was a potter from Santo Domingo Pueblo (also known as Kewa Pueblo), located in New Mexico. This Pueblo is renowned for its traditional handmade pottery, often featuring bold polychrome designs (black, red, and white on a buff or tan base), geometric patterns, and sometimes floral or animal motifs. Santo Domingo potters use hand-coiled techniques, natural clays, and outdoor firing methods passed down through generations.
Dough bowls are a classic form in Santo Domingo pottery—large, wide, shallow vessels traditionally used for kneading bread dough (like fry bread or horno-baked loaves). They are practical yet artistic, often with thick walls for durability and intricate painted decorations on the interior and exterior.
