Hemispherical bowl with a flattened base. Kiathuthlannd black on Cibola white ware (Puerco-Chaco series), with a rough tan exterior. Symmetrical bands of oblique hatching in a scroll pattern on the interior.
Materials
Grey clay, white slip, and black paint
Commentary
Kiatuthlana black-on-white style. The influence of basketry design is especially evident in the pottery of the Chaco Canyon area of Northwestern New Mexico, one of the centers of Anasazi culture. A characteristic of Chaco painting is the enclosure of areas of line hatching within angular bands, on a ground of chalky white slip.

Marks
