Southwestern pottery is decorated with established patterns and
symbols, including clouds, rain, lightning, and birds. These appear
on both prehistoric and modern pots. This water pot was made some
time before 1884, and has been painted with images of cloud, rain,
lightning, and road-runners. Road-runners are large birds native
to New Mexico and Arizona, known for their distinctive head crests
and running speed.
