Zuni potter, Agnes Peynetsa hand crafted this exquisite pot using traditional techniques of hand coiling and outdoor kiln firing. Incorporating natural colors of red, black, and white, there is a Kolowisi with geometric designs painted on him. The Kolowisi is a feathered or horned water serpent that is highly sacred because he is hero in Zuni because he saved the Zuni people from the flood. The Kolowisi is the guardian of the water sources and can move around in aquifers and into Zuni River, Salt Lake, or any body of water. A unique addition is any pottery or Native American art collection. Signed

Within the Jemez Pueblo there are many exceptional potters. The work is generally characterized by the buff and red clays used, and the range of styles and subjects. Storyteller, figures, sgrafitto designs, wedding vases, and melon pots are a few of their favorites. Before the arrival of the Spanish, Jemez was known for its traditional black-on-white ware, but production of this type of pottery died out in the early 18th century. There was a revival of Jemez pottery-making in the early 20th century inspired and influenced by Zia pottery designs, but it was not until the 1960’s and 70’s that a significant number of Jemez potters began producing high-quality work using traditional methods.
