In the old days, Zuni women retrieved water for daily needs by balancing large beautiful pottery jars called ollas on their heads. Here, Corn-Maiden sisters share the workload, each with happy faces that are etched and filled with jet paste. A sculpted olla jar holds crushed turquoise to represent life-giving water. Carved from turquoise, this wonderful two-sided piece is about 2 1/2" tall, 2 1/8" wide and 3/4" deep, by Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez. When you shop keshi.com you're supporting an Indigenous artist like Kateri who sets her own wholesale prices in keeping with our mission of promoting equitable treatment of artists since 1981.
