content: Replica made in the style of Okhotsk Culture ca. 11-12 Cent. AD. Japanese script on base. According to William Fitzhugh, curator of Arctic Archaeology, "The designs on this vessel are typical of Late Okhotsk style. The Creech pot is a fine example of Okhotsk ceramics, and the Japanese craftsmen who produce these replicas, which are seen in all of the major archaeology museums in Japan, are well-known for the accuracy of their replicas, which are valued as works of art in themselves."
