content: Squat jar, undecorated. Pot is marked "73B Cushing" inside. Appears to be a circa 1893 exhibit prop, collected by (or, speculatively, it was perhaps made by, or made 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 fiigure (pottery polisher woman) and associated artifacts. One of the objects listed is "Pot (made) - 73B 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." This appears to be the plain jar on the floor of the case between the two mannequins.
