CHAPTER IX
20/35

Two characteristic wares are both pretty.

Most typical, perhaps, is the black and green ware which is made into bowls, plates, mugs, and pitchers.

The clay of which it is baked is local and dark brown in color; a white earth applied to this, on baking, gives rise to a rich metallic green glaze.

Designs are painted upon this in black.

This black and green ware goes far and wide, and everywhere is recognized as coming from the Once Pueblos.
