I collect ancient pottery from all of the North American continent. I recently was able to get a hold of two tripod bowls from an old Californian collection that have poor provenience but were certainly authentic enough. I got them for a price that I thought was OK.. waited a few days and I got them just the other day... you won't believe this. These are pieces often dug up by poor farmers from village sites trying to make a few bucks. Well it looks like the farmer did the restoration on this piece as well... LOL One of the legs was broken off, and apparently missing, so a makeshift one was used instead. It doesn't match at all, not even close... and when I looked at this odd peg leg I thought what in the heck is THAT? two holes in it... so I blew into it thinking perhaps it was a whistle... sure was. It's the broken off mouth piece to some type of flute or whistle and was just glued on this pot as a leg!! Makes a great sound, very clear and crisp. Just for the record....if any of you out there have any pottery that you would ever want to sell or TRADE.... let me know, I collect just about everything, but coins and pottery are my number 1!
