Hollywood (GA) Bowl

12" in height x 15" in diameter

This design has won 1st place the 1999 Five Civilized Tribes Museum's Art Under the Oaks show, 1st place at the 2000 Tulsa Indian Art Market and an Honorable Mention and the 2003 Trail of Tears show at the Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah, OK. The design consists of human faces entwined with rattlesnake motifs. This design came from what is referred to as the "Hollywood Beaker" and was described as a possible god-animal representation item of the Southern Ceremonial Complex. The Hollywood site is in Richmond County, Georgia on the Savannah River, ten miles below Augusta. This famous beaker was found in one of two dilapidated platform mounds, resting on thin and brittle plates of copper in a lower lever grave. The original engraved pottery vessel was only 5 inches in height.
