19th Century Apache Large Earthenware Pot

About the Item

Antique Apache Large Earthenware Pot, Second Half 19th Century, a very large hand molded clay spheroid vessel, a classic "Olla," with it's original rawhide netting. Since the Apache did not settle down as farmers or herders but rather remained primarily migratory hunters, they did not develop the highly evolved pottery or basketry traditions of the neighboring Pueblo peoples; their pots were typically like this one undecorated, and tended to be very large like this for carrying quantities of water and food on the trail. Similar pots were also made to some extant by the Navajo. This piece came out of an old Adirondack lodge collection. The pot remains in very good condition, with no cracks, and only a few expected rim chips. The pot is held on an iron ring stand. Measures: 17-1/2 in H x 15-1/4 in Diameter On Stand: 22 in H

    Pacific Northwest coast carved cedar killer whale rattle, by Coastal Salish - Squamish artist Stan Joseph, signed and dated 2012, a beautiful and deeply carved hollow cedar dance rattle in the form of a Killer Whale, with relief carved eyes and mouth, surface striations, and three human faces on the back and tale, with applied pectoral and dorsal fins. Mounted with simple whittled cradle on cedar block base (signed and dated on bottom of base). Hollow interior rattles with entrapped pebbles. The carving was never polychromed and remains in its original natural finish. Excellent condition. Stan Joseph is a Coastal Salish artist from North Vancouver. He began carving in 1962 at the age of twelve, and also ventured into painting and designing totem poles. In 1972 he carved an 80 foot and other huge poles which sold to Germany. In 1980 he carved a 60-foot pole for Sea Span and another one for the Chief Joe Matthias Centre, as well as the welcome figure on the West Vancouver Pier. Stan is now an outstanding master carver who teaches his craft to the next generation of young artists.
