Julian Martinez of San Ildefonso Pueblo favored eagle feather designs for much of the pottery he painted for Maria. Santa Clara potters often used eagle feather design on their pottery as well. In this jar, Linda Tafoya carved eagle feathers in parallel lines encircling the body of the jar in an upright position. It is a sense of great respect and honor by Native Americans to include eagle feathers as design elements in pottery.
