Lot 681
Two Human Effigy Pots - Mississippian Culture. These two mound clay anthropomorphic figure pots are great examples of the figural pottery work producted by the Native Americans of the Mississippian culture. The small, seated figure, perhaps giving birth, is smooth and polished, a beautiful reminder of the humanity of the native people; Height: 5"; marked on base: "Hampton Collecting, Bradley Site, Crittenden Co., Ark." The larger figure is kneeling, possibly in prayer, with mouth open and head tilted back, hands on knees; Height: 7". These are perhaps two of the finest examples of anthropomorphic figures of the Mississippi culture seen in one lot.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
