Hopi Pot
(FCHP236)
1900-1925
Walpi polychrome is from the principal Hopi village on First Mesa.
Although this olla was fired in an
oxidizing atmosphere that produced the clear colors, the dark spot
(center right) was caused when some object
fell against the side of the jar during firing, thus preventing oxygen
from reaching that spot.
