Santa Domingo potters have made dough bowls of this shape with black-on-white geometric designs for centuries. After tourists started to express an interest in the dough bowls, potters began to make them about half their usual size. Tourists could transport the smaller dough bowls such as this one much more easily on return trips.ProvenanceGerald Peters, Santa Fe, New Mexico
