This is a striking olla by Anderson Peynetsa. The jar is a beautiful shape with a wide shoulder and slight neck.  The body of the jar is painted with painted with three rows of heartline deer. All together there are 24 of them on this jar!  Each deer is very tightly painted and the quantity of them give the jar a very dynamic appearance.  The heartline deer is a classic image in Zuni pottery, with the heart representing the strength and spirit of the animal.  The rim of the jar has a rain and cloud pattern and note as well the space in the design, which is the ‘spirit line’, which is a traditional design element in Zuni pottery.  The white is a kaolin clay slip and the black bee-weed, while the red is an additional clay slip.   Anderson has signed the bowl on the bottom.
