The restored kiva at Kuaua, Colorado State Monument (New Mexico), is known for its beautiful 15th-century frescoes. Those shown today are copies; the originals are stored in the nearby museum. The paintings, done in black, yellow, red, blue, green and white, are related to fertility rites involving prayers for rain and the good will of the gods and the Pueblo cosmogony.
