Puebloan ceramics
Puebloan ceramics refer to pottery created by the Native American pueblos in the southwestern United States, such as the Hopi, Zuni, and San Ildefonso. These vessels are known for their craftsmanship, including distinctive patterns, symbols, and often vibrant colors like red, white, and black. The ceramics served both practical purposes, like cooking and storage, and ceremonial roles. Over centuries, Puebloan pottery evolved with regional styles and techniques, reflecting cultural stories and identity. Today, these ceramics are valued for their artistic expression and cultural significance, representing a deep tradition of craftsmanship and community heritage.
