Desideria Montoya Sanchez came from a family of potters who reinterpreted the centuries-old P'ohwhóge Owingeh blackware coiling and firing technique to create black-on-black ware ceramics. Montoya Sanchez painted this jar with textured slip paints before firing in an oxygen-depleted kiln to create the burnished black surface and subtle pattern of feathers, a symbol important to many Native American cultures.
