Elizabeth Medina is known for traditional style of Zia pottery.  Each piece is coil built, painted with native clays, and native fired.  This is one of the few miniatures we have had by Elizabeth. The jar has Zia birds on each side.  They are separated by an old style Zia cloud pattern that is painted in a terraced style.  The red areas are stone polished.  The jar was traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom, “E. Medina  Zia”.
