This is an incredible hand-painted Southwestern-style decorative gourd, potentially made by a Zuni artist such as Ron Rivera. It is crafted from a dried gourd, not traditional pottery. The design features a red-brown base with stitched leather-like details and turquoise-colored accents. Similar art styles are associated with Hopi or Kewa (formerly Santo Domingo Pueblo)
Four figures adorn it: a thunderbird, a stylized owl, a butterfly, and ??.
