Pueblos are associated with certain pottery designs that become somewhat a hallmark of their pottery.  San Ildefonso is associated with eagle feather and Avanyu designs, Santa Clara has become associated with the impressed bear paw, Acoma Pueblo is tied to its fine line work and Zuni Pueblo is associated with the heart line deer.

The most prominent designs associated with Santo Domingo Pueblo are black triangles that form a star pattern and the cream ovals outlined in black squares. This deep bowl has the large cream ovals or circles outlined in black that are so tied to its name.  Each potter may treat the pattern slightly different, but overall, it comes out appearing the same.
