Tusayan Black-on-White - CA. 1200-1300

Tusayan Black-on-White is not unlike other Tusayan White Ware types, but there is more emphasis on black solids and patterns created by the ground. However, designs are generally limited to bands, and often resemble earlier Black Mesa Black- on-White designs in having elements lined with dots. Paint is often not as solid as previous types.
