This ceramic bowl, created by the Cibola people around 850-950 AD, showcases the bold geometric patterns characteristic of their pottery. The bowl's white surface is adorned with bands of stripes, zigzags, and checkerboard motifs in dark brown, demonstrating the artist's skill in manipulating the medium. This piece is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, providing insights into the aesthetic sensibilities of ancient Puebloan cultures.
