Description

Up for your collection is this historic Native American Acoma Pueblo pottery jar that has been in my family since early 1900s.   Great grandma Traver (1900-1997) used it as a pencil holder. She had a master's degree from the University of Illinois. She taught high school English and French.
Grandpa Traver (1936-2019) rescued the jar from his mother's  old  family barn in the 1960s before it was demolished.  Grandpa who was an anthropologist and archaeologist owned it ever since. He passed away recently. He was an avid collector of many different subjects.  I will be listing part of his collections.   All money resulting from sales goes to Grandma's care.  Please be generous. God bless you!
This jar was verified by an expert with Arizona State Museum/ The University of Arizona.
The printed copy of the Email between Grandpa and the expert can be given to the buyer upon request.
Condition of jar:  great antique condition, with a chip on the mouth rim and a couple of tiny chips consistent with age.
