Santo Domingo Olla, c. 1880
This old Santo Domingo water jar or olla is from the old Vanderwagon collection that Larry Frank bought in the late 1960s. The olla shows ethnographic use in the village, but is intact with a great patination of age. It measures 10" height and 11 ½" diameter, and has no repair or restoration. The jar features a bright, wide secondary band of reddish/orange hue around the base—another indication of its age. The olla has a beautiful rounded early form with its early simple geometric designs, and dates to 1880 or earlier.
