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.  The pueblo buildings and the kiva (with the ladder) are also represented.  Jason made a series of these pieces, each with a different saint.  The tile is made from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay and it is traditionally fired. It is signed on the back.
