Between the four terraced cloud shapes, there are symbols of a stalk of corn, a bolt of lightening with an arrowhead, a tadpole, and meandering lightning.Galleries:Ceramic Arts, Native Americans, Salinas Pottery and Other ArtifactsKeywords:Gran Quivira, Las Humanas, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, bowl, ceramics, ceremonial bowl, crafts, potteryPhoto Location: Gran Quivira Contact Station Exhibit, Pueblo Missions National Monument, New MexicoPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 02/19/2014Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.1F Number: 4Original Dimensions: 4384×3124Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 34°35'45.05"N 106°17'45.88"WPicture Number: 26168
