Label TextThis jar likely held water, a precious resource to a people living in a desert environment. Nineteenth-century Santa Ana pottery is rare and is distinguished from other pueblo pottery by its elegant, accentuated oval shape. Southwest women focused much of their energy on perfecting the shape and form of their pottery.ProvenanceRobert V. Gallegos, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Morning Star Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico
