Summary

Vessel from Unknown; Glaze, painted brown and red lines inside, paspole figure outside.Contemporary Hopi 1800 to 1954 - Frederick Douglas, 1954In spite of Rust's note that he collected this pot at Zuni it is clearly a good example of early Sikyatki style. The question or historic of pre -historic seems to be resolved by the comment by Fewkes in describing the ""modern imitations"" of old ware made by Nampeyo. "" The sole way in which modern (1895) imitations of ancient vessels may be distinguished is by the peculiar crackled or crazed surface which the former always has... All modern imitations are covered with a white slip which, after firing, becomes crackled, a characteristic unknown to ancient ware."
