This is a classic Zia storage 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 is patined with four different colors of clay.  There are three large Zia birds.  Each bird is different and polished with red and tan clay slips. They are each next to large flowering plants.  The plants are delicately painted and match the shape of the jar.  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”.
