content: This large jar, possibly a water jar, looks significantly different from the others in the C.C. Manning collection. It is made of both red and white clay and covered in intricate geometric designs and depictions of a palak mana, or young maiden, katsina. Dr. Bruce Bernstein speculates that the pot may have been made by one person and decorated by another, as the skill level of the painter seems to have been superior to that of the potter. According to typed card with the pot, it was collected by Charles Manning in 1887 in "Casas Grandes", which presumably means Casa Grande, Arizona?
