<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9441366, member: 37"]It is a painted seed pot from Jemez Pueblo. My understanding is that they really had no tradition of pottery making historically. They began making painted tourist pottery for income. The color is applied rather than fired slip or burnished designs as done by most Pueblo tribes. Older pieces used poster paint that was not waterproof. This looks more like an oil or acrylic based paint on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
