Polychrome Tall and Slender Hopi Pueblo Cylindrical Jar [SOLD]

Frank Applegate conducted classes on the Hopi mesas in 1922 at the request of the Indian Commission. It is believed that he re-introduced this shape to the Hopi potters at that time. The shape does have precedence from prehistoric times.

Many of these cylindrical jars were sold by the Fred Harvey Company at its hotels and gift shops, particularly at The Grand Canyon.

This jar is structurally in very good condition. Some of the painted design has rubbed in places but not in any significant manner.
