Label TextThe Zia pueblo was another great source for eager travellers who wanted to buy extraordinary pottery work. Zia potters shaped the jars to have a high shoulder and painted the designs in black and smaller amounts of red. This gracefully curving flower is an example of a larger naturalistic design aesthetic that Zia potters employed.ProvenanceGerald Peters, Santa Fe, New Mexico
