This Kewa (Santo Domingo) Pueblo polychrome chile bowl probably dates to the first half of the 20th century. It has the traditional rag-wiped bentonite slip, black rim around the top, and a wide red band wiped below the decorated section. The main body is decorated in a single extremely bold design that is an arrangement of black triangles strategically placed to form the desired design.   It is one of the most traditional designs seen on Kewa bowls.
