Tonto Basin Salado Parrot Bird Effigy Replica

This reproduction jar is extremely authentic-looking in its lines and design, classic Salado Culture in every way shape and form.  These effigy style jars were made approximately 600 to 800 years ago in the Tonto Basin of the Salt River region of Arizona.  There is a theory that they were constructed to be watercraft and filled with offerings, prayers, and dreams; then set afloat on the Salt (Salado) River to drift off into the land of the gods. Wood firing in a dirt pit renders the surface with a smoky patina that is enhanced with occasional fire clouds.
