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. The front and back and bottom are all fully carved. There is an avanyu which encircles the jar. The avanyu is very deeply carved and has very intricate sections.  The area above the head and tail of the avanyu are delicately carved with cloud and lightning designs.  The contrast of the polished areas and the mica handles is striking.  The jar is signed on the bottom.
