Antique Santo Domingo Kewa Pueblo Basket Pot - Native Pottery, Early 1900s

This antique Santo Domingo (now Kewa) Pueblo basket pot is a finely hand-coiled Native American clay vessel created in the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930s). Basket pots were designed to mimic the form and pattern of woven baskets, but crafted in clay using traditional Pueblo techniques. This piece has an earthy, organic feel, with surface wear that reflects its age and authentic use. The pot’s basket-like form and warm slip coloration are typical of early Santo Domingo pottery made before mid-century.
