content: Pot is marked "73A Cushing" inside. Appears to be a circa 1893 exhibit prop, collected by (or, speculatively, it was perhaps made by, or under the direction of) Frank Hamilton Cushing? See National Anthropological Archives Manuscript 7217, "List of figures and costumes for exhibition at World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago" [i.e. the Chicago World's Fair of 1893], by C. Bergmann, entry No. 73, describing a mannequin of a kneeling/squatting Zuni female figure (pottery polisher woman) and associated artifacts. One of the objects listed is "Pot (made) - 73A Cushing." See also Bureau of American Ethnology 14th Annual Report, Part 1, for 1892 - 1893, Pl. 66, after p. 546, showing mannequins illustrating "Pueblo [Zuni] Pottery Making." Mannequin on left appears to be holding this jar, and Smithsonian Annual Report for the year 1920, Pl. 39, after p. 634, where mannequin on right appears to be holding it.
