PitcherThis pitcher comes from a collection of pottery from the Salt River Valley, Arizona, presented to the Museum in 1939. These vessels had probably been grave goods; many graves were unscientifically excavated during this century. This pitcher (container for liquid) is made of fired clay, coated with a white slip and decorated with a black painted geometric design. It has a broad belly, concave tall neck, broad mouth and flat handle. Household vessels for cooking and serving food and drink were placed in graves, for continued use by their former owners in the afterlife, by people living in south-western USA between 750 and 1300.
