The potters of Zuni Pueblo, in western New Mexico, are recognized
for their superbly functional and aesthetically unique polychrome
ceramic vessels. The authors present an authoritative and
comprehensive study of 700 years of Zuni pottery, drawing upon 1200
examples from incomparable collections acquired at Zuni by
expeditions dispatched by the Smithsonian Institution, as well as
from museums across the country. The authors use ground breaking
original research (which has become the standard for subsequent
research teams) to study the evolution of the pottery styles of the
Zuni Pueblo. Every individual type and style of pottery made at
Zuni is discussed and illustrated chronologically and in detail.
The book offers a history of the Zuni Pueblos, an introduction to
Ashiwi (Zuni) pottery, as well as a chronological history of the
craft. The authors examine fine and rare examples of pots--many of
which are from private collections--in terms of forms and designs
from the ancient antecedents of Zuni pottery to the contemporary
work being produced today. The definitive treatment of the
extraordinarily popular Zuni Pueblo's long and complex ceramic
tradition, this book sets the gold standard and will be an
indispensable reference for researchers, collectors, Native arts
enthusiasts, archaeologists, and visitors to the Southwest.
