This is a large and intricately painted Zia jar by Elizabeth Medina.  She is known for her traditional style of Zia pottery.  Each piece is coil built, painted with native clays, and native fired.  This jar has a high shoulder and a short neck.  The jar has two red polished rainbows with large Zia birds underneath.  Separating them are two more sections with stylized hummingbirds and flowers.  The birds are polished red and tan.  Around the neck is a ring of painted flowers.  The base is fully polished red. The jar is signed on the side “Elizabeth Medina, Zia”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
