This Hohokam bowl, dating back to c. 900-1200, is a testament to the artistic skill of this ancient Native American culture. The bowl, crafted from ceramic and adorned with intricate red-on-white designs, features a central band of geometric patterns flanked by rows of stylized spirals. This artwork, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a prime example of Hohokam pottery, known for its distinctive designs and high quality. The use of spirals and geometric motifs are common in Hohokam art, demonstrating their cultural significance.
