This is a classic Zia water 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.  The jar has two large areas, each with three hummingbirds and a larger Zia bird. The hummingbirds are near a flower.  Separating each section are large polished cloud designs. The clouds are polished red and tan.  It is an interesting variation in Elizabeth’s design but certainly reflecting on historic Zia pottery imagery. The lid has a base polished red and there is a bear on top with a bird and flower as the design.  The jar signed on the side “Elizabeth Medina, Zia”.
