Jamie Olson's "All Seeing Shaman" is one of the most creative pieces of wearable sculpture he has ever crafted. Jamie has constructed this pin/pendant from what he calls "recycled refuse", which is basically shards from prehistoric Puebloan pottery. No worries though, the pottery pieces are legally collected and documented. Jamie creates his art forms in sterling silver. This particular piece is uniquely versatile and can be worn as a pendent or a broach.
About the artist:
James A. Olson - Jewelry/Sculpture Artist:
"About my work, or lack of, it chose me as much as I chose it. Asked where I get my ideas, I can't really say for sure. I'm thankful I get them once in awhile, and have the basic skills to carry them through to a satisfactory condition, at that point and time. I'm blessed, I love what I do, it's a passion. When that love and passion is not there, I'll do something else." See full biography | See all items by James A. Olson

The Navajo have made pottery since their arrival; possibly they brought pottery with them during their southern migration. They made a plain and decorated pottery. The plain being considered the older style? More about this legend
