The temper is very fine quartz sand. The interior of bowls and jar exteriors are smoothed but not slipped. The surface color is dead white to light gray. The forms ofTusayan Black-on-white are bowls, jars, seed jars, colanders, jugs, canteen, and dippers. The black organic paint is often gritty. The most common design elements are a series of ranking triangles along straight lines as a saw toothed edge effect and opposed by a series running in the opposite direction. There are also opposed sets of triangles with their apexes touching leaving a negative diamond shape with one dot. lnterlocking scrolls are common. Another frequent design is large solid areas with serrated edges and coarse cross hatching that occurs as a background. Painted areas are greater than unpainted ones.”
