Cochiti Pueblo Storage Jar
(FCHP216)
1900-1925, 16 inches tall
The geometric and floral designs are typical of the Cochiti style. The
horizontal scratches on the neck were caused during use. It was standard
practice to keep mice and other vermin out of a storage jar by inverting
a bowl over the top. Such bowl covers abraded the design, but left an
interesting ethnographic record of how the pot was used.
