Art History Animalia

: Catalina Zunie ( master potter, 1862-1949)
Olla (Water Jar) w/tadpoles, , dragonflies, & birds, c.1920
"Much of the imagery...originates from medicine-jar decorations. Toads & frogs were symbols of abundance and healing to the Zuni, likely due to their intimate connections to water & the transformations inherent to their life cycles. The knife-wing birds & dragonflies reflect the traditional themes of water, air, & the cycle of nature.”
