Wood fired lidded jar origin

This lidded jar was purchased ~5 years ago in Kentucky at a flea market. It can't be seen in this picture, but in the bottom of the pot there are gold colored flakes in the clay. The jar was wood fired and I'm trying to find where and when this pot may have been made. I believe that it may be African or Native American, but in searching I have not been able to come anywhere close to the design of this pot. Any help / suggestions are well appreciated.

 

No clue but NICE!!!!

 

Thanks, I didn't include a profile picture but the bottom is not rounded as you would expect on a Native American piece but has a foot rim. There are no markings of any kind on the bottom.

 

Posting pictures in profile and of the bottom (markings or not) are "expected" by those who are most likely to be able help you.

 

Here are some additional pictures.

 

You might want to try a search over at Chuck Rozanski's site (nice guy, we've duked it out on eBay a few times over pieces, and he helped me fill in some blanks in an article I wrote a few years back). The search engine sucks... but I usually just look through them by Pueblo. He's got thousands of pieces (more than 6,000).

Click on an example, and it will take you to a page with more views of the pieces.

I don't recognize yours as a Native American piece... but then, it's not a specialty of mine (I collect the Zia, Acoma, Hopi and Jemez pottery buttons, and buy small pottery pieces when I see them at sales for nothing here in Arizona). If it's a white clay pottery, I'd say look at Acoma first. That's about all I got! *shrugs*
