Zuni pottery is a traditional craft of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe in New Mexico. Known for its intricate designs and vibrant colors, Zuni pottery often features natural motifs, such as animals and plants, reflecting the tribe's connection to nature. The pottery is typically made from local clay and is hand-shaped, then fired in outdoor kilns. Zuni artisans use various techniques, including painting and carving, to create unique pieces. Many pots are functional, while others serve as decorative art. The pottery is not only a cultural expression but also an important source of income for the Zuni community.
