  • The Weeden Island culture no.8.

    Pic. 1 smacks of a hand design but I don’t have enough to work with,..Pic.2 is a piece with the eye, from the same vessel....Pic.3 is a Santa Rosa piece...Pic. 4 is an incised and punctuated W.I.vessel... It has a highly decorated rim with nodes...Pic 5 is check stamped with a plain rolled rim, a nice solid piece...Pic 6 is another example of the best W.I. pottery ever made...it has great examples of circular punctuations made with a hollow cylindrical tool.... A characteristic of this type of decorated pottery is ,,, it’s extremely thin averaging 1/4 “pic. 8

    ...Pic 7 is a W.I. Plain with nice linear punctuations....just a note here about the tool marks under the rim, I intend to touch on that down the road.

    Excellent examples as always, especially picture #6. I'm trying to figure out what the eye was for, looks like the shape of a human eye.

    It’s a classic southern cult motif, the weeping or open eye, they range from realistic to highly stylized ..That is one .. once you see a couple they always pop out at you.. I posted this one with the copper frame.

      Amazing craftswomen or men, my vote is for #3. Are those circles pressed into the clay with paddles or incised? Thanks for the post.
