Acoma Pueblo (in western New Mexico, often called "Sky City") is renowned for its thin-walled, hand-coiled pottery made from local clay. Polychrome pieces typically feature a white slip background with black, orange/red, and sometimes other mineral-based pigments in geometric, floral, or figurative designs. Bird motifs—especially stylized parrots, roadrunners, or rain birds—are very common and traditional.
