Making a
Difference
Diana Wade
Isleta
Pueblo, New Mexico
Influenced by both
Jemez and Zuni traditions, Diana Wade, a resident of Isleta Pueblo, creates
pieces with extensive hand-painted design. Each of the pieces of this set is
made of natural clay. The scene is very Indian in style and ornamental design.
The wise men are three chiefs, one in full headdress. The three gifts are a
rattle, a canoe, and a drum. Only Baby Jesus makes a difference. He is in jeans
and a western shirt, and is lying on a sheepskin rug. |
