    Description

    This round pot has a handle, some would call it a basket pot...  It is tan color with a red/orange band on the upper inside and the bottom is painted with the red/orange color .  The design is black and red/orange.  It is thick.   I believe it is early (1930-40) Isleta.  A few pots there were of the tan base, most were of nearly white base.
    It is  2 5/8" high to the rim of the pottery bowl and 4" high to the top of the pottery handle (painted black) - 4" widest diameter, top opening is 2 7/8" diameter, bottom is 2" diameter.
    There was a piece of tape (like white older medical tape) on the bottom - see last photo.  It fell off while I was photographing piece - it reads "Louise (Arizona) from Uncle Charles Dilthey" (it is a bit hard to read). Charles Dilthey filed
    in 1912
    a mining claim, for "Wren#1, #2, #3 & #4" under the "The Arizona Copper Belt Mining CO"  in Yavapai County, Arizona.   You will receive this tape w/pot.     ====== FYI    Arizona Copper Belt Mining Co seems to have folded in 1934.  Wren Mining Company exists today - however it may not be currently operational.  I find that interesting  - there is an area in Arizona called the "Arizona Copper Belt" ...
