Standing approximately 5 inches tall with a 5-inch diameter, the vessel features a traditional polychrome palette of brick red and black over a creamy white slip. The exterior is meticulously hand-painted with intricate geometric patterns, including fine-line hatching and stylized avian or floral motifs characteristic of the Sky City aesthetic.

The piece is signed on the base "Acoma, N. Mex. C. Estevan," attributing it to a member of the respected Estevan family of potters. The thin-walled construction and smooth finish indicate high-quality craftsmanship and traditional firing techniques. This jar is in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks, though it shows the minor natural variations expected of handmade indigenous art. A sophisticated addition to any collection of Native American ceramics or Southwestern decor, this piece perfectly balances ancestral tradition with sharp, modern geometry.
