The R.C. Gorman Zia Benita ornament pictures a musician at rest. A seated figure wears a purple top, red skirt, and orange shawl, a beaded necklace at her collar, beside a drum decorated with a red bird design. Green and red florals frame the base of the scene, and the sky above shifts from blue to warm orange.
A gold-tone cap and hanging cord suspend the round keepsake, which arrives in a red gallery gift box. As merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery in miniature rather than serving as an original artwork.
Add it to a collection of R.C. Gorman ornaments, gift it to a music lover with a taste for Southwestern art, or hang it where the drum’s red bird can catch the light.
