Brody (Maxwell Museum, Univ. of New Mexico) identified this in 1981 as “an Acoma-style Zia jar and probably dates to 1880-1900, when only one or two potters were working.†Joe Ben Wheat (Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, CO) also identified it in 1981 as a Zia jar, but thought it could have been made by a Zia woman at Santa Ana Pueblo.] | |
