I am very honored and grateful to have a piece of my work, a replica of a traditional Caddo Bailey Engraved bottle, acquired and accessioned into the Gregg County Historical Museum in Longview, Texas.
This piece was made from hand dug white clay from Texas. A huge thanks to Bo Nelson. It was tempered with freshwater mussel shell, burnished with a rock, oxidized ground fired, then engraved after firing. Thank you so very much to Jennifer White.

Analysis is finished for the summer. The lab is neat and tidy and ready for our next round of students in the fall
