This four-color Acoma polychrome water jar features white slip with black, red, and orange painted decoration. The focal points of this multi-paneled jar are the large circular design panels that decorate two sides. Within each circular pattern is a band of three birds, and each orange bird had a billowing tail, inspired by Zuni Pueblo stylized bird designs. Above and below the band of birds are clouds, crosshatchings, and other rain elements that are also similar to designs seen on Zuni Pueblo pottery.
