They are surrounded by flowers.  Around the center is a rainbow band.  Below the shoulder, the jar is slipped red.  It is painted with two Zia birds, flowers, and petals.  The top of the jar has a lid with a red polished base and a bear on top with a bird and flower as the design.  The jar signed on the side “Elizabeth Medina, Zia”.
