A potter from the Santo Domingo Pueblo went all out on this large dough bowl, made around 1940. Measuring 7-1/2" in height and 14" across the opening, it is decorated in traditional natural white and black pigments which, like the clay, is gathered locally. Bread is baked in an outdoor oven called an horno (pronounced orno). Most likely the bread would be made from Blue Bird Flour, popular in Native kitchens. Please pass the butter.
