^Lot 282a Maricopa Polychrome Pot

Light brown with terracotta interior signed Barbara Johnson on base. Measures 8"x5". In excellent condition. Barbara Johnson (c. 1925-2004) was a member of the Maricopa Tribe but is known for making pottery of the Mojave style, particularly effigy vessels such as this double-headed one embellished with beaded earrings and necklace. Maricopa pottery making essentially was non-existent at the turn of the 20th century.
