TYPE: San Lazaro Glaze Polychrome (Glaze D)

DATE: A.D. 1470 to 1515 (Oppelt,2002;51)

PRIMARY BOWL DESIGN PLACEMENT: Interiors and/or exteriors.

COMMON DESIGNS:  Bowl rims occassionally painted with zig-zag lines, short lines, ticking or bird figures. Bowl exteriors usually have thick red lines outlined with thin glaze black lines. Bowl interiors usually done in the same polychrome manner but occasionally only have glaze black designs.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Long thickened rims are diagnostic. Long thickened rims are rims that are thick all the way down to about the shoulder of bowls. Thickened rims usually do not apply to jars. Jars usually have red slipped bottoms and rim interiors. The shouldered bowl begins to make it's appearance late during this time period.

SLIP AND/OR SURFACE TREATMENT: Bowl interiors and exteriors are slipped white, or yellow, tan, orange, or even pinkish. Jars usually have red slipped bottoms and rim interiors.  Occasionally bowl bottom interiors or exteriors slipped red.

12Y San Lazaro Polychrome Putki.

This interesting and rare piece was a mold for making new vessels. It was made from an upside down San Lazaro Glaze Polychrome olla top and a large bottom shard. The bottom shard was placed inside with a combination of wet ash and plaster applied to seal off the natural hole in the olla top, thereby making a base mold or "turn table". The ash and plaster layer allowed easy seperation of the new vessels without sticking to the mold or turntable. At San Lazaro Pueblo, Pukis were found

that measured from 6 1/2" to 15 1/2" ind diameter.

Approximate Dimensions: 13 1/2 " by 5"
