This is a striking new jar by Linda Cain.  Linda is a daughter of Mary Cain and the mother of Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts.  This jar is very deeply carved with a water serpent as the design. The avanyu encircles the jar and there are cloud designs around the neck.  The neck, base, and tongue of the avanyu are all polished red. The body of the avanyu is polished tan.  There is bit of micaceous clay added to the tan area, creating a striking coloration.  Note as well the complex carving of the avanyu and the variation in design as the jar is turned! While not a large piece, it is gem-like in its intricacy.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Linda Cain”.
