<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9950993, member: 10944"]Called as much by the place I bought it on a whim from. I only got to see a couple photos right before buying. The pot has a totally flat bottom and doesn’t really feel thousands of years old. The two holes are kind of strange. I saw the first one and thought someone made a lamp of it for a minute, then saw the 2nd hole. It has the look of having been recovered from the earth but I don’t know if it’s honest. Condition is abnormally good if it’s legit. Looks like maybe bird effigy handles? Neat piece either way but wondering what it really is. Definitely a primitive design. Hopefully it’s legitimately old. Thoughts? </p><p><br /></p><p>The pot is about 6 1/2”.
