This is an intricately carved jar by Linda Cain.  She is a daughter of Mary Cain and the mother of potters Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts-Medlock. This jar has handles on the sides and they are slipped in mica as is the top half of the jar.  The lower section is fully carved with an avanyu and polished red. The avanyu which encircles the jar is very intricately carved.  The area above the head and tail of the avanyu are carved with cloud, water, and rain designs. The jar is signed on the bottom.
