Bowl1929.155

A high ended grease bowl with an undulating rim which is studded with brass tacks. Brass tacks generally were used instead of operculum shells, and were much more popular with Plains Indians. The outside of the bowl is decorated with bilaterally symmetrical designs composed of the characteristic ovoids and U-forms. It is difficult to identify the creature represented on the ends. Inside the bowl the traces of grease can still be seen, and a ridge following the rim and branching upwards to the edges of the high ends. These ridges are possibly the decorative vestiges of the birch bark precursors made by the Athapaskan peoples (G.Crowther).; Good
