Mississippian Pottery Doll Circa 1000-1540 CE
Included in this lot is a Mississippian pottery doll circa 1000 – 1540 CE. Mississippian culture pottery was made from locally available clay sources. The clay was tempered with an additive to keep it from shrinking and cracking in the drying and firing process, usually with ground mussel shells. This fine example of Mississippian pottery depicts a male figure similar that to of an early explorer. The shoulders show an armor design. The piece shows multiple breaks and repairs throughout. The pottery doll measures 8 ½” x 4 ½”.
