Zuni Pueblo Pot
(FCHP226)
1850-1875
Since about 1700, Zuni pots have been decorated with flat mineral paints. Zuni pottery generally has a glossy white slip with bold, curvilinear designs. Note the damage around the rim that was probably caused by a ladle handle that dipped water from the vessel.
Height 10 inches
