American Indian pottery, from the ancient Indians to the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni and today’s pueblo pottery, has evolved into a beautiful and expressive art form. It has served both decorative and functional purposes for thousands of years. Today we visit museums that display the pots of the ancient Anasazi, most of which were used in their daily life. We peruse galleries offering some of the most valuable of today’s American Indian Pottery, valued for exquisite craftsmanship and geometric design. We collect it, admire it, study it and in some cases use it. The pottery of the ancestors of today’s Indians exhibits so many different styles and uses. Practical Indian pottery application included water and food storage, cooking pots and eating and drinking utensils. Some pieces were used only for ceremonial purposes and others were perhaps used to hold beads or to store other things
