[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4446148, member: 8363"]These three miniature pots were from the same donation, but I don't think they are from the same place. One was easy - the Native American Pot was thrown and painted by Kimo DeCora of the Isleta Pueblo Potters. It is 1 1/2" tall, beautifully painted and signed at the bottom. The two dark brown ones are a complete mystery to me. They are: [LIST] [*]smaller - 1 1/4 inch tall [*]heavier 1 1/2 ounce each [*]appear to be carved out on the inside [*]have lines across the grain [*]coated with some brown substance that has glopped at the bottom in one case [*]not symmetrical - one is definitely more oblong than round. [/LIST] At first, I thought bone, but they are much heavier than one would expect from bone. Any ideas appreciated.
