1935 San Juan Pueblo Handmade Slip Decorated Carved Pot

This traditional vessel features native clay, traditionally coiled and hand-formed, then buff and red slip decorated in a typical geometric/cloud steps motif with edges carved shallowly. The pot was collected in 1935 in New Mexico, at San Juan Pueblo. It shows relatively little wear for its age, and is a great example of earlier Pueblo small work and an early forerunner of the deeply carved pottery now done at San Juan. It measures 3 3/4" diameter.

The pot is pencil marked "WT" and San Juan on the bottom.
