I'm trying to figure out the symbols. The one looks like a thunderbird but the others look like a shield or cross almost.

Nice "OLD" bowl. Try posting over on the North American Indian artifact forum. There are some pottery people there.

The light colored clay with the red pigment and concentric spiral art, which was also used by other cultures in the south west, leads me to believe it's Hohokam of Arizona. https://kids.britannica.com/students/article/Hohokam-culture/480454/media Please ad more info such as a photo of the underside and dimensions.

Wish I could say but I'm no expert. That's why I was wondering about the decoration. I've looked at thousands of photos of Native pottery over the years because I have a basic interest in pottery and the Native American culture in general. The symbols do look familiar, I just don't recall seeing them on any southwestern pottery I've ever looked at. You would expect similar design elements to be found on pieces made in the same region. So far I can't place it.
This link gives pretty good examples of the different types Anasazi culture pottery.

It looks like red and black slip (paint) on the inside. Is the clay grey? Is there any slip on the exterior? Can you tell if it was made using the coiled construction method?

There is plenty of decoration on it. It's just hard to see unless you blow up the photo on a big screen.
