[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 8249911, member: 76316"]I stumbled on this while looking for something else, as so often happens. No recollection where or when I acquired it...but looking at it an' noticing its repaired condition, I'm sure I was immediately intrigued...an' grabbed it straightaway! I have not the slightest skills in NA art...so cannot begin to adequately describe this piece, save for some basics: ~7 3/4" high, ~8" diameter, ~3" mouth, ~4 oz; it shows evidence of weather an' neglect inside & out. The signature(s) are plain enough, but beyond what can be seen I'm at a loss where to seek illumination; I'm assuming Janiceo did the work, and Gray Wolf indicates a tribe, or a sub-group or location. That's why I'm here...in sincere hope of hearing from anyone with a better understanding of this gourd, an' the significance of its graphics. Thanks for looking'!
