Historic Zuni Pueblo Small Jar in Drum Jar Design - 25727
Category: Pottery | Posted by | Wed, Jul 20th 2016, 5:09pm
Zuni is the only pueblo known to have made pottery vessels for use as drums. Generally, they are 18 to 24 inches tall and 15 to 16 inches in diameter. The rim curves outward in a pronounced manner so as to form a ridge to secure a leather strap securely around the hide drum head that is stretched over the top of the pottery vessel. The vessel is slipped entirely in white slip and with only the minimal decoration-usually just four heartline deer.
