Cochiti Pueblo Pot
(FCHP213)
1875-1900
Note the gates put in the horizontal
black lines drawn around the top and below the shoulder of this Cochiti
polychrome storage jar. These are spirit lines that break the pattern
and give it a beginning and an ending.
Some potters believe such breaks allowed the maker's talent and
abilities to escape
from the pot so that she could continue working.
