This very unusual vessel has some mica, it has been corn cob scraped on the bottom then obliterated corrugated throught the body. It has twisted coil handles and scallop rim. The interior of the terraced elements was left unsmoothed and the coils of clay are easily seen. Could this vessel be Picuris, Taos, Tesuque, or possibly even Santa Clara? On page 132 of "All that Glitters" by Duane Anderson, a photograph of a vessel with similar attributes is stated as being Santa Clara. Believed to possibly be a copy of a micaceous smeared-indented type as noted by Kenneth Chapman.
