- Lot Description
Native American, New Mexico, Zia Pueblo (also Tsia), ca. 1910 CE. A massive ceramic olla made by the master artisans at Zia Pueblo around the time that their style was shifting to emphasize the Zia bird, the roadrunner. Here the bird is prominently displayed in a repeated register around the body of the vessel, surrounded by vines and flowers, in a curved frame, all painted with hues of creamy white, black, and earthy pale red. Below this register, which occupies the shoulder and center of the vessel, is a thick band of the same pale red. Size: 17.75" W x 16" H (45.1 cm x 40.6 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.
