• 17TH C. ZUNI FIRST PUEBLO REVOLT
  17TH C. ZUNI FIRST PUEBLO REVOLT POLYCHROME JARNative American, southwestern United States, New Mexico, Zuni, First Pueblo Revolt, ca. late 17th to 18th century CE. Wow! A remarkably rare example of pottery from the First Pueblo Revolt of 1680! The unique jar exhibits a rotund body with a tapered neck and an annular rim, all sitting upon a round yet stable base and enveloped in a creamy beige slip. An applied crisscross pattern encompasses the neck, somewhat resembling pie crust rim decoration. Painted motifs in orange and black further adorn the bulbous body of the vessel featuring a horizontal band of stylized bird-like animals and aquatic creatures atop a zigzag ring that encircles the base. Size: 4.8" Diameter x 4.5" H (12.2 cm x 11.4 cm) During the First Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the united tribes of the Northern Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, Tano, Keres, Pecos, Zuni, and Hopi overthrew the Spanish colonizers of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico, killing 400 colonials and driving out the remaining 2,000 Spanish in the area. This uprising was not only an armed rebellion, but also manifested culturally as the Native people began to reject Spanish influence and return to pre-European contact traditions. This remarkable jar is a prime example of these physical and cultural revolutions: the misshapen and simplistic designs across the body of the vessel illustrate the anxiety and anguish experienced by the Pueblo women potters during the uprising, while the distinguished inclusion of traditional Zuni symbols combined with the lack of crosses and other Catholic insignia that the Spanish demanded from Zuni craftswomen symbolizes a return to Native customs, as well as a rejection of colonizer culture.
