Hand-coiled pottery vessel of globular form with a slightly constricted neck and flared, undulating rim. The surface is highly burnished and fired to a deep black, consistent with traditional reduction firing techniques associated with Pueblo pottery. The form is simple and utilitarian, with subtle irregularities indicative of hand construction.

The underside bears a paper label reading “Santa Clara date 1900” and an additional sticker marked “Museum Piece,” though these are not considered definitive authentication.

Dimensions: 5.5 in. height x 6 in. width
