Hand coiled local clay with a rounded bottom and the surface was imprinted by rolling a dried corncob over it. The corncob texture helps to grip the pot better, imprinting it helps compress clay to strengthen it, and the appearance is pleasing. Round bottom pots would sit in an impression in the ground and the fire would be built around it for cooking. Stones could be used to stabilize it. This ancestral style pot was bisque fired then wood fired.
