content: Pot is unfinished, i.e. in the process of having painted decoration applied. Appears to be circa 1915-1920 exhibit prop, made for (or made/decorated by??) Smithsonian staff. See Smithsonian Annual Report for the year 1920, Pl. 39, after p. 634, showing Zuni exhibit mannequins making pottery, where mannequin on left is holding/"painting" what appears to be this jar. On July 17, 1946, Curator John C. Ewers interviewed William H. Egberts, who was a preparator for the U. S. National Museum from 1915 - 1939. In that interview Egberts indicated he had made the mannequin of the woman holding this jar.
