Another ceramic piece from Lake county Florida.
I don’t know why the folks up there were non conformists, but I do know a teensy bit about this one
So basically you have a bowl made and you wanna stick little flowers on the outside, well you gotta make em separate from the pot..There you have it, that’s what this is a little flower ( just kiddin about the flower part), but it does have a meaning lost in time.
It, like the others has remnants of red ochre, signifying a ceremonial piece..The ole boys up at Astor park weren’t too concerned about quality workmanship as long as they got the basic idea across ( whatever that mighta been)..This is a great artifact because it plainly shows the coiling method, almost never seen on ceremonial ware from Florida.in pic.1....Pic.4 shows where it broke cleanly away from the main pot...
Thank you all for lookin and remember, you saw it here first.
