This is an exceptional large jar by Eusebia Toribio Shije.  She is known for her traditional Zia pottery. This jar is coil-built and painted with native clay slips.  It is a classic storage jar shape.  There is a feather pattern around the neck.  On the sides, there are tan polished rainbows.  Under the rainbows are Zia birds with a stalk of corn and rain clouds.  Separating them are plants with polished brown petals.  The base of the jar is polished red.  It is a striking large jar with precise painting and detail.  In addition, all the various colors are visually distinctive on this jar!  The piece was traditionally fired.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “Eusebia Shije”.
