From the 13th century through the start of the 17th, new polychrome ceramic traditions developed in the Cibola region of western New Mexico and east-central Arizona. Although each ceramic style was distinct, they were closely related in that they all were painted using black, white and red pigments and feature a single, bold motif. A large abstracted bird with outstretched wings fills the interior of this Four Mile Polychrome bowl.
