Black jar hungawa Date Unknown

This small, black and orange jar is an example of traditional Pueblo pottery from an anonymous artist. The piece is made from clay, with the top half of the jar painted with an orange slip and the bottom half painted with a dark, black slip. Geometric and floral designs are carved into the surface of the jar, which was likely used for food storage or ceremonial purposes. The jar, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the vibrant artistry of Indigenous people from the Southwest.
