The jar features a matte black slip with designs cut back to white, including step-fret spirals, triangular panels, and feather or leaf motifs. The carving is precise and evenly cut, creating strong contrast and depth across the surface.

The initials LC / GP may suggest a collaborative work involving artists from both Laguna and Acoma Pueblo traditions. While this attribution has not been confirmed, cross-Pueblo collaborations are uncommon, making this a distinctive and visually compelling piece regardless of authorship.
