Teardrop Zia Earrings

Zia symbol earrings are handmade from copper in bright yellow and red colors with a black background on a teardrop shape. The Zia is an indigenous tribe centered at Zia Pueblo, an Indian reservation in the U.S. state of New Mexico. The Zia tribe is known for its pottery and the use of the sun symbol. Zia symbolizes the circle of life: the four directions, the four times of day, the four stages of life, and the four seasons.
