Title	Water jar (or "olla)
Subject	Indians of North America Zuni Indians Zuni Indians -- Social life and customs Zuni pottery Containers Storage jars Zuni pottery
Description	Zuni peoples recognized the importance of water in their daily lives. Water and items associated with water became part of their belief system. During the 1800s water jars or containers featured abstract designs of rain, vegetation and animals associated with water. This particular abstract design features parallel lines that represent rain and slightly coiled circles that represent a ceremonial drumstick. During the first half of the 20th century, Zuni made fewer ceramics because of ready made items offered at stores. Today, many contemporary Zuni potters produce traditional themed ceramics, but with their own individual interpretations.
