Historic Zuni Pueblo Child Size Polychrome Jar with Heart Design - C3924R
There is a charm to small pottery vessels that gets lost in larger size ones. Perhaps it is our association with small children and small animals that always attracts our attention. This small jar not only is charming, it has a most unusual and concentrated design pattern for its size. There are four design panels on the body that occupy the space from the shoulder to the base. Each of the four is densely compact with bold black lines, filled in with fine lines in black and red, rain clouds attached to the sides and hearts at the top and bottom. The neck design is a sweeping rain bird filled with fine lines.
