Zuni Pueblo is the only pueblo that made pottery drum jars. Generally, they are large and slipped overall in white clay and have the most minimal decoration. A wet skin is placed over the opening and tied around the lip of the jar. When the skin dries, it shrinks and becomes taut and the jar can then serve as a drum.
