Description: Offered byAntique American Indian Art, LLC--- AAIA--- Pottery: Maricopa and Tohono O'odham Jar with Snake and Lizards Early to mid-20th century 4 3/4" H x 7 1/4"D The Maricopa Pottery and Maricopa Tribal people are best known for their red clay pottery work. Various jars and bowls were created for essential needs, made of natural materials. The clay was collected at various locations throughout the area. Natural dyes were used to depict geometrical designs.The Maricopa people were small bands living along the lower Gila and Colorado rivers. Each of these bands migrated eastward at different times. The Xalychidom (Maricopa of Lehi), left around 1825.The last of these bands is said to have left the Colorado River in the late 1830’s. Eventually, these bands came together and became collectively known as the Maricopa.As they migrated eastward, they came upon the Pima tribe and established a relationship. Both tribes provided protection against the Yuman and Apache tribes.Some of the Maricopa (mostly Xalychidom Piipaash) began migrating to the area now known as Lehi on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community because water from the Gila River was becoming scarce. When the Salt River Indian Community was established in 1879, the reservation included both tribes within these boundaries.230424-10Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc (AAIA) eBay ListingsPlease HIT "SAVE THIS SELLER" in top-right corner of listing if you want notifications of our new listings.As the nation’s leading gallery of Antique North American Indian Art and Artifacts, we invite you to consider the beautiful art and artifacts that we list on eBay with full confidence in the authenticity and legality of the item, in the accuracy of the listing, and in the professionalism that we demonstrate in processing each transaction.
