Nambe Pueblo
is located in north-central New Mexico. Until about
1830 Nambe Pueblo was a tremendous center for the manufacture of
painted pottery. The style, which closely resembles Powhoge
Polychrome, is called Nambe Polychrome. Around 1830 the
production of decorated wares at Nambe decreased sharply, and it is
likely that none were make at that village thereafter....later Nambe
vessels consist principally of black wares, with fluted -rimmed bowls
like those of Santa Clara, micaceous-slip jars superficially
resembling the vessels from Picuris, and plain tan vessels of
relatively rough finish. |
