I'm doing a report about the Pueblo Indian tribe.
And I need to know..
- Who makes the pottery? also how's it made from start to finish.
- What the pottery is used for.
- Where does the inspiration for the pottery design come from? Explain.
Pueblo Indians began making their own clay pottery at least 2,000 years ago to use for everyday chores and storage. For this reason, it was mainly the women who made the pots.
The Pueblo Indians prospect clay from pits or minds close to their home--these locations are usually kept secret. Smaller pieces are hand molded, while larger items are made using flat coils. The pottery is hardened by open outdoor bonfire reaching 1,300 degrees. Pottery is then painted with pigments made from residues of boiled plants or finely ground metallic rocks.
Each piece of Pueblo pottery possesses symbols that are indigenous to the beliefs of the tribe. Pueblos, however, do not reveal the meaning of the symbolism in order to keep ceremonial rituals and traditions sacred.
