This Zuni Pueblo jar has the design layout described by Harlow and Lanmon as that used between 1870 and 1880. The design layout has two vertical panels on opposing sides of the vessel and two horizontal panels with capped spirals in mirror reflective designs, also on opposing sides of the vessel. Lastly, the neck design contains elements from the body design. There is a slight puki depression on the underside. The capped spiral designs are the major design elements on the body, without heartline deer, medallions or small birds.
