This is a tightly carved water jar by Linda Cain.  Linda is a daughter of Mary Cain and the mother of Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts.  This jar is deeply carved with an avanyu (water serpent) which encircles the piece.  The avanyu is carved in sections and note how at the base of the carving there is the flow of the river.  The jar is fully polished and the background is matte red. The jar is striking in coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Linda Cain”.
