Once Known Native American Potter

We acquired this Hopi vessel in a collection of a dozen candleholders from various pueblos so we have designated this as a candleholder, however, it might have some other intended purpose.  At least the previous owners included it in their collection of candleholders, so we have gone along with their designation.

 

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: from a collection of a family in New Mexico
