The large lidded storage jar was probably fashioned by a maker from Tetsuge Owingeh or Tesuque Pueblo, located for centuries in what is now New Mexico. The vessel was meticulously hand-built one coil at a time, then carefully smoothed. The painted abstracted designs represent natural elements including plants, animals and birds, and clouds and rain.
