Earthenware jar (tinaja), 1540s, with mark near lip, rare and important provenance. 6 lb 6 oz, 14-1/4" tall and 8" in diameter. Small but typical jar of oval shape (small, flat bottom), orangish-pink in color, 100% intact, with merchant mark at top (looks like TA in monogram) near lip, an important archeological find from the first exploration of Florida by the Spanish under Hernando de Soto. Found in the Peace River near the west coast of Florida and reportedly from the DeSoto expedition of the early 1500s.
