This tile by Jason Garcia is one from his early “Saint” series. This is St. Claire ,the patron saint of Santa Clara Pueblo. St. Claire is portrayed here with Pueblo embroidered weavings on the sides of the tile.  There are TV antennae in the background to represent that she is also the patron saint of televisions.  In the background is also Black Mesa, the sacred mountain.  In the background is also a tractor tearing down one of the old kivas at Santa Clara to make way for a new one.  Jason has been one of the few potters who uses his work to document the changes and life at Santa Clara.  The tile is made from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay and it is traditionally fired.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the back.
