Description

Antique Tarahumara Pottery with Rawhide Wrap Material and Technique: Made from rough earthen clay, often tempered with sand or ground potsherds, using a coil method without a pottery wheel. Firing Process: The pottery is dried and hardened before being fired in an open flame for about 1.5 hours. Decoration: A slip made of red ocher powder and water is sometimes applied for decoration. Uses: Primarily utilitarian, used for cooking beans, boiling corn, roasting corn, and making tesgüino, a traditional corn beer. Style: Rustic and unpolished, reflecting the natural materials and traditional methods used. Origin: The Tarahumara people reside in the Sierra Madre mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico. Age: The piece in the image is likely vintage, possibly from the mid-20th century
