<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 4400590, member: 16407&quot;]Hello again. I have found a large piece of pottery, hand made and not on a wheel, and with a very distinctive painted design of the famous petroglyph &#039;Tsagaglal.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Translated as &#039;She Who Watches&#039;, Tsagaglal is a culturally significant petroglyph from Washington state that was endangered by and therefore moved before the final construction of The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River in 1957, the same event that devastated the cultural landmark Celilo Falls. </p><p><br /></p><p>The pot is signed &#039;Margie&#039;, I think, and has the piece of paper and loose tobacco in it. </p><p><br /></p><p>To my knowledge, pottery is more rare here in the US Pacific Northwest, compared to the Southwest, but it&#039;s not unheard of.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have opinions as to whether this is just a random piece by a person who liked the petroglyph design, or if this is something more significant or if it fits into a regional cultural tradition? Who might Margie be?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]372198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372201[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
