Zia Pueblo Polychrome Pottery Jar, Geometric & Floral Motifs
This hand-coiled Pueblo pottery jar displays traditional polychrome decoration with geometric diamonds enclosing floral and leaf-like motifs. Painted in warm earth tones of orange, brown, and cream over a buff slip, the design is organized in balanced panels around the vessel. The wide mouth and gently rounded shoulders give the jar a classic Pueblo form, while the matte surface and visible brushwork highlight its handmade character.
The construction and decorative style suggest Zia Pueblo craftsmanship, known for bold geometric fields and organic motifs, though Acoma influences are also present. Measuring 4.75 inches tall and 6.5 inches across, with a weight of 1.5 lbs, it is a versatile display piece for collectors of Southwestern art and Native pottery traditions.
Condition:
Good overall, with a 0.25-inch chip to the top rim and a small area of chipped paint to one decorative panel. Surface wear is consistent with age and use, but the vessel remains stable and visually appealing.
Dimensions:
Height: 4.75 inches
Width: 6.5 inches
Weight: 1.5 lbs
