Marcellus and Elizabeth Medina Large Hummingbird Jar

This unique handcrafted jar was created using natural clay, vegetal and mineral paints, and traditional firing methods by Elizabeth and Marcellus Medina who are widely considered the most skilled potters working in Zia Pueblo today.

Showcasing their talent as master potters, this unique piece captures three focal points, a pair of hummingbirds descending on flower, a lovely border of butterflies surrounding the pair of birds and then a ring of triangle around the rim. Worked in the traditional Zia style, the Medinas, apply slip to their natural clay vessels, buff the background, and then paint polychrome designs in red, brown and black. This expertly crafted bowl is a timeless work of fine art from Zia Pueblo's premier potters.

Jar measures 8-1/8" long and wide, stands 9" tall Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
