Santo Domingo Polychrome was described and illustrated by Chapman (1936; 1938). The exposed area along the base was seldom polished, and after 1900 and after A.D. 1900 a new red slip was adopted (Batkin 1987). This type is dominated by jars, and is largely represented by forms that tend to be more upright and less gobular than those noted for Kiua Polychrome (Harlow 1973).Bowls when present ten to be steep and decorated on exterior only. Decorations are applied in organic paint, and are less formal than earlier forms. Designs are limited to a single wide line and segmented panels are absent. Designs may include naturalistic elements such as birds and foliage. Red slip also began to be incorporated into the design
