Zuni Polychrome Pot
Zuni, New Mexico

The design on this water jar shows a deer standing in a house of flowers. The blood-red line stretching from the animal’s mouth to its heart is called a heartline. It is associated with the wind, the breathing of the universe, and the creation of all things.

Gift of Mrs. A.R. Alling
