Being offered is an old, southwest Indian style turtle effigy pottery bowl. This came with a collection of old and ancient Indian pottery collection. The piece has a Tesque or Cochiti Pueblo Indian style and design but can not fully attribute this piece to the cultures. It is possible this piece was from Central America or Mexican in origin. The piece is old and has a burnishing mark from being fired in an open pit or fire. The piece was crafted with the bottom be fashioned with the head and then the shell attached and fired together. The base of the shell does have some bottom edge nips or chips but otherwise the bowl has no other issues. The bowl is approx. 4 1/4″ wide side view by 3 1/8″ wide front view, and 2 1/4 tall.
