Santo Domingo Polychrome Animal Design Bowl by Paulina Pacheco
Full of expert craftsmanship and impeccable work from formation to paint, this Santo Domingo Animal Design Bowl is absolutely impressive! Made by Santo Domingo potter Paulina Pacheco, she crafted this bowl by stacking hand coiled rings of clay on top of each other, and then scraping them together until the shape is formed. She then fires the pottery piece, and paints over it with slip and pigments found on the Santo Domingo pueblo, creating a beautiful image of a male and female deer and additional geometric patterns along the outside of the bowl. The pottery piece is 14" by 5", is vintage circa 1980's, and in excellent condition. This Santo Domingo Polychrome Animal Design Bowl is gorgeous and is Southwest handiwork at it's finest!
Paulina Pacheco (1943-2008) was a member of the Fire Clan at Santo Domingo Pueblo, with her husband Gilbert (1940-2010) hailing from the Corn Clan. Paulina learned about pottery early in life, working with her mother Juanita C. Tenorio and grandmother, Andrea Ortiz, to gather pigments as a young child and creating her own pottery pieces. Paulina and Gilbert had created pottery pieces together throughout the years, and had even made stone strung jewelry at one point. They passed the pottery making tradition down to her daughter Rose and her Navajo husband Billy Veale to carry on the legacy once Paulina and Gilbert had passed on. Her works can be found in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. and the Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK.
