Ancient Dragon Jar
Item: DRAGON

This pot features a design from an ancient Mississippian period pot.  This design is identified in the book as a piassa.  I disagree.  The piassa is an underwater panther.  Underwater creatures don't have wings.  I identify this as a dragon design. 

This pot was hand formed using the coiling method from hand dug clay.  It was scraped smooth then painted over with a white slip.  It was then burnished with a rock.  It was then hand painted with the dragon design which wraps around the pot.  It was painted using hand mixed manganese and hematite paints.  It was wood fired.
