Label TextThe Pueblo of Zia, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, has maintained its reputation for fine pottery for hundreds of years. (c.f. Frank and Harlow 1974, fig.101) Well modeled, thin walled, beautifully painted pots of many shapes are still produced today. This jar is classified as a "Trios" type by Harlow and others, but Batkin regards "Trios" as a part of the long continuum of Zia polychrome, which has changed gradually since the end of the eighteenth century. On the basis of examination of many examples, Batkin prefers to call them all "Zia Polychrome." The design around the neck of this pot is typical of Trios, but the design on the body resembles Santa Ana in the rather massive simplicity of the red rectangles. Pottery at Zia is always tempered with ground black basalt and painted with mineral paints.
