Jars made by the Zia have consistent design elements, such as bold, sweeping lines and a solid color base. Birds are the most common motif found on Zia pottery that is classic in its form and design, and bird representations are typically framed by thick, bold lines. Zia pottery features a wide range of variations on the classic design including a figurative form of a deer.
