The high shoulder of this historic  jar is emphasized by the split horizontal bars that are stacked on each other.  The strong black of this design contrasts significantly with the polychrome designs on the neck and body of the Acoma Pueblo jar.

The neck design contains the same design elements as those on the body, just reduced in size to fit the smaller area.  The design panels are divided by triangles alternating in an up and down position.  In each triangle there is a white and black design in a horizontal rectangle.  On one side of that is a design of fine black parallel lines and on the other side is a block of orange. This design within a triangle is repeated throughout the body and neck.
