This three-color Cochiti Kiua storage jar features white slip with black and red painted decoration. Much of the exterior surface of the jar is undecorated, with a few isolated motifs. The neckband consists of a zigzagging pattern of triangles and within the body band are two designs that include a double spiral motif and a single circle with a four-leaf plant inside.
