Eusebia Toribio Shije is known for her traditional Zia pottery. This jar is coil-built and painted with native clay slips.  There are two of her classic Zia birds (note the elongated neck).  Separating them are large corn designs.  There is a red polished rainbow that encircles the jar.  The base is also fully polished.  The piece was traditionally fired.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “E. Shije”.
