[Original CAS catalog card for this jar refers to sticker on base of jar that reads “Guaranteed hand made at Santa Ana, Southwest Arts and Crafts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Price $15.00.” J. J. 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.]
