Adobe Gallery Blog Aguilar Sisters Historic Pottery of Santo Domingo Pueblo 2019

At the turn of the twentieth century, Felipita Aguilar Garcia and Asunción Aguilar Caté-sisters from Santo Domingo Pueblo-were creating pottery in the traditional fashion of their people. The Aguilar sisters were skilled potters who produced fine examples of traditional Santo Domingo Black-on-cream pottery. At the time, the Santa Fe train stopped at Santo Domingo Pueblo, allowing the sisters and other Native artists to sell their works to visitors.
