content: 41342: Flat back, twin loop handles and short curvilinear neck, painted on the cream slip in brown with a stylized curvilinear motif on the front. Part of an 1884 exchange between NMNH and the Hartford Seminary. In 1978 the Hartford Seminary decided to close its museum and liquidate its collections. This pot was put up for auction by Sotheby Parke Bernet, Inc. on Oct. 26, 1978. William Sturtevant, curator of North American ethnology at the time, purchased this pot (SPB # 107/3) and others offered by the Hartford Seminary which had also originally belonged to the Smithsonian. Dr. Sturtevant was eventually reimbursed by the Smithsonian for some of the costs he incurred in reacquiring the exchanged items.
