This traditional Mexican folk art clay water jar (olla) is attributed to the Huastecan region. The handmade vessel features a matte tan clay slip decorated with dark organic pigments in striking curvilinear and geometric patterns. The jar measures approximately 8 7/8 in. H x 10 1/2 in. in diameter, displaying authentic handcrafted character with gentle surface wear and minor abrasions to the upper rim consistent with age and traditional use.
