Item Details

Description

Native American, New Mexico, Zia Pueblo (Tsia), ca. 1930 to 1940 CE. Inscribed "Zia Pueblo" on base. A gorgeous ceramic olla made by the master artisans of the Zia Pueblo around the time that their style was shifting to emphasize the Zia bird, the roadrunner - as shown skillfully painted on this example. Decorated in hues of cream, orange, and black, the vessel rests on a planar base and features thick walls that dramatically flare outwards to a broad shoulder and then inwards to an annular rim over a deep basin. A stylized motif of 3 roadrunners adorns the exterior, each in profile, facing right, and surrounded by abstract and geometric designs. Size: 10.4" Diameter x 7.5" H (26.4 cm x 19 cm)

The Zia have occupied their land since the 1200s. The landscape where they live is rocky and not agriculturally productive, so they have made their living for centuries by trading their beautiful and functional pottery to other pueblos. Their pottery is made from red clay mixed with basaltic rock fragments for temper, then hard fired. The roadrunner, a charming, long-legged bird found in the American southwest, is notable for its speed and bravery - it can even kill and eat a rattlesnake! For Pueblo people, the roadrunner is thought of as a healing bird that can protect against evil spirits.

Provenance: ex-Nancy and Dr. E.F. Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from 1970 to 2000
