Jemez, unfired, poster paint “thunder bird” ashtray. “From Jemez Pueblo, $2.50” rubber-stamped on the bottom.
Purchased at a Grand Canyon gift shop in August 1971. The best example of art-for-tourist-taste available on that particular table full of such ashtrays. For another example of a poster paint Jemez pot, see 1999-12. A Jemez (or Tesuque?) “rain god” with this same kitschy spirit is also part of the collection, 2003-12.
