This is a very modernist jar by Linda Cain.  Linda is a daughter of Mary Cain and the mother of Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts.  This jar has a square mouth which is stone polished.  From the neck to below the shoulder it is matte and slipped with a mica clay slip.  There is a single carved bear paw as the design, and it is also fully polished. As the jar is turned over, the are below the shoulder is stone polished.  There are interesting variations in texture and reflection. The square mouth and the angular style of the bear paw are striking on this piece. It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
