- Lot Description
Native American, Southeastern United States, Arkansas, Hot Springs County, Mississippian / Caddo culture, ca. 800 to 1400 CE. This is a remarkable hand-built pottery cylindrical vessel with a stable but slightly rounded base and an incised program of linear markings across the surface. The sweeping etched lines resemble ripples, flaring upward along the sides, and a pair of 4 suspension lobe handles are placed near the rim and base, pierced through the center for threading on a cord. The top is nearly flat with concentric incised circles around the narrow opening, which could be easily plugged with a wood lid. Such jars contained seeds for planting- the narrow opening ensuring they stayed dry through the winter and the suspension lobes and rounded base suggest this vessel was hung up in a dry area to prevent rodents or pests from getting inside as well. This is a rare and well-preserved example of Native American pottery! Size: 5" W x 7.5" H (12.7 cm x 19 cm)
For a similar example please see the Louisiana Tech University website and Harper Willis Pottery Collection: Caddo Seed Jar 034B.
