POTTERY VIDEO

THIS VIDEO SHOWS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE of Iroquoian pottery made of terra cotta. It is very round in form and must be about 25cm in circumference. The top of the pot is made of a flattened neck, about 6cm high, with seven equidistant small points at the top of the neck. It is decorated with oblique hatchings traced in the clay before it was fired and three small, engraved circles arranged in a triangle like a mouth beneath two eyes. These circles are located directly under each of the seven points.

The last image depicts another piece of pottery, very similar to the first except that it has five, and not seven, points on its neck.
