Label TextThis Zuni jar is typical of the fine ceramic work done for centuries at that pueblo. The painted image of the deer is notable for its traditional red heart-line, extending from the mouth to the chest. The heart-line symbolically represents the spiritual essence of the deer.Exhibition History"Art of the American Indian: The Thaw Collection," The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, March 2, 2010 - May 30, 2010; Minneapolis Museum of Art, Minneapolis, MN, October 24, 2010 - January 9, 2011; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX, April 24, 2011 - September 23, 2011; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN, December 4, 2011 - February 12, 2012.
