DESCRIPTION

Vintage 1970s polychrome badger effigy clay pot in the style of Casas Grandes pottery known as Mata Ortiz pottery. Effigy vessels such as this one are typical of effigy vessels from Cochiti Pueblo where animals and birds predominate the style of the culture. This effigy jar was used to store dry foods. The dark residue on the inside is typical of items made in the 1960's and 1970's whereas a prehistoric version of this would have a natural clay color on the inside.

This would make a great addition to your retro home decor, southwestern decor or a wonderful housewarming gift.
