WOW!  This is a spectacular jar by Sofia Medina and her daughter Lois Medina.   They were commissioned to make this piece and the size, detail in the painting, and form reflect extraordinary attention to creative perfection.  The shape of the jar elegant, with a wide shoulder and short neck.  There is a symmetry to the form that is perfect for the size.  The jar has four sections of the design.  Two have large Zia birds under a double rainbow and with tan polished clouds.  There are sections with fine-line painting.  The opposing sections have large birds and plant designs.  However, over the birds are large Zia cloud designs.  The style of the imagery is reminiscent of historic Zia pottery designs with the small swirls and hatchwork detail.  The base of the jar is polished red.  I’m not quite sure the photos do it justice of the scale and form, but it is a bit breathtaking in person! The jar is signed on the side, “ “Sofia & Lois Medina”.  The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Simply. Spectacular.
