Pino, Dominguita Herrera – Large Jar with Zia Birds and Clouds (1980s)

Dominguita Pino was known for her traditional style of Zia pottery.  Each piece was coil built, painted with native clays, and native fired.  This is one of the larger and more complicated pieces of her pottery we have had in the gallery.  It is a classic shape with a high shoulder and short neck. It is painted with four birds along with cloud designs.  The birds and the clouds are stone polished.  It is a striking design that perfectly matches the form!  The base of the jar is polished red.  The jar is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the side, “Dominguita H. Pino”.
