Named after the modern town of Mata Ortiz, which is near the archeological site, the style was propagated by Juan Quezada Celado. Quezada learned on his own to recreate this ancient pottery and then went on to update it. The condition of this large pottery vessel is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this pottery vessel is 12" x 8 1/2" x 8 1/2".
