Description

This rare old pot was most likely made by Teddy Weahkee in the early 1930s judging by the 4 distinctive coyote and water serpent horn fetishes. It is unusual that the bowl is made from a Santo Domingo chili bowl. The bowl measures 7 3/4 by 4 inches and the horns measure between 5 and 6 inches.  All of the holes in the bowl as well as the decorations are hand drilled and strung with sinew and brain tan. Unfortunately the bowl has a 3 1/4 inch crack as can be seen in the last photo and the brain tan thongs tying the fetishes in place have been replaced. The last 3 photos show similar fetish pots depicted in the 1976 book "fetishes and carvings of the southwest".
Look carefully at all the photos, they are an important part of the description. If you have any questions please email me.
