This three-color Acoma polychrome pot features white slip with black and orange painted decoration. The all-over-designed pot includes a bold orange rainbow band that zigzags across its surface. In between are winding upward and downward black triangles that may represent clouds or mountains, depending on their orientation. The rainbow band continues towards the neck of the pot in a stepped formation and surrounding the band are more winding triangles.
