Small Hand-painted Black on Cream Southwest Pueblo Native American Pot carved man in tree but might also be niceI believe this small Pueblo pot is likely Santo Domingo, based on the color and nature of the bold black on cream pattern decoration and what gorgeous pattern it is. I also think it is a fairly old one, which remains in very good condition, with a little minor hairline crack that does not go through and one tiny nick to the lip. Turning it over reveals blackening from firing on one side. To my eye a very beautiful, satisfying thing. 4 1 2" d x 3 1 4"
