Native American Laguna Carved Pot Carrier Maiden with Pueblo Wall Hanging Sculpture

Description

Native American Laguna Carved Pot Carrier Maiden with Pueblo Wall Hanging Sculpture by Jacob Warner

This wonderful Laguna Pot Carrier is not a Kachina. This carving is a tribute to women, the pottery they create and the water they carry to the pueblo. Water is life and these women spend much of their time ensuring that their family will not have to go without. This beautiful piece has a single maiden wrapped in mantas to keep out the cold. The pot on her head is filled with water for the corn tht grows at her feet. The pueblo and the kiva ladders are above the maiden. This wonderful piece more details than I can describe from the turquoise earrings and pendant to the tapestry-like textures on the layers of mantas she is wearing. Even the detailed symbols behind the figure.
