This vintage embossed metal tray depicts a woman carrying a traditional water vessel while standing among flowering prickly pear cactus. The composition became popular during the first half of the twentieth century, when artisans combined regional imagery with Art Deco forms. The design centers on a single repoussé panel framed by stepped borders that draw the eye inward.
