This unique hand-wrought, heavy copper pail is hallmarked HAND MADE BY INDIANS and the Tewa Thunderbird logo. Beautiful struck stamping graces 3 sides of the pail. The pail measures 5 3/4" tall by 5 1/2" wide at top with a handle that is 3" tall. In good condition with some slight green oxidation on the inside of the pail and some wear spots on the outer part of the pail. Overall a wonderful piece of history!
