Nice example of an early 20th century Santo Domingo Pueblo Kiua style bowl with traditional geometric designs.   Black pigment over cream colored slip, with a red / orange base. Note traditional break in rim decoration also extends up from red base, completing the separation in the design meant to let the "spirit out of the pot". Unsigned.
