About 1900, my grandfather migrated to Southern Arizona from Missouri. He lived in the Flagstaff area, working as a streetcar conductor and brought this pottery piece back with him in 1903. According to my now-deceased mother, she damaged the piece in the early 1930s and was severely reprimanded for doing so.
The pot is 2" tall and 3 3/4" in diameter. It appears to have been a basket form because there is evidence that a handle was once attached.
Any assistance in identifying the tribal origins, design meanings, etc., will be very much appreciated. I would also appreciate any recommendations for other sources of research.
Thanks!
