Santo Domingo Polychrome is a typology designation that has been used for over a hundred years. Now that the pueblo has gone back to using its ancestral name, there could be some confusion as to whether Santo Domingo Polychrome or Kewa Polychrome is the correct typological designation. Most likely, Santo Domingo Polychrome will continue to be used until there is an official recognition of a typology name change.

This bowl is typical of the size of a large serving bowl or a small dough bowl. It is slipped on the interior with a stone polished red finish, has remnants of a black rim, and natural stone-polished underbody with a rag-wiped red band just below the design field.

The design field on the exterior of the bowl is divided into 5 rectangular boxes, each containing the same black triangle elements arranged tip-to-tip and featured in mirror images. The red and black paints used are from mineral and vegetal sources.

The bowl appears to have been used as there is evidence of a wear pattern on the interior although it is only slightly worn, mostly near the bottom of the bowl. The exterior is in excellent condition.
