This three-color San Ildefonso Pueblo polychrome storage jar features white slip with black and red painted decoration. The oval-like shape of this grandiose jar opens with a small and chipped rim. Below the red rim are two framing lines that can also be found on the shoulder and base of the jar. The surface decoration contains a variety of motifs illustrated in black. Some designs include wavering lines, multiple leaf-like formations, and patterns of triangles.
