The pot has a fine crack that has been reglued on one side and another fine pressure crack at the head. It is pierced on opposite sides of the rim for a handle. No restoration but a pressure crack and small chip on rim. This is a wonderful example of the old cooking pot used by the very early Anasazi. The pot is totally blackened from open fire cooking.
Great character reflects the age and wear.
There are two cracks and a chip on the rim, but solid. This Effigy Pot was found near Taylor, Arizona on a ranch where the Smithsonian Institute operated a dig for about seven years in the early part of this century. The dig was part of the famous Four Mile area, a major trade center of the time. The Salado influenced the Hohokam of southern Arizona especially the Casa Grande. The pot has a necklace and earrings.
