      The first pic loaded sideways, don’t know why!

      Contact those UFO show idiots and tell them this thing was glowing and hovering in your yard until it got tangled in some knickers on the clothes line & crashed at your feet. I'm sure they would get a good 187 shows about it & maybe a new series. You hold your fortune & future in your hands ! LOL !!

      Funny! Other than that does anybody have any ideas? Or is finding out the origin pretty much a lost cause?

      Moon pot?

      I'm still trying ti figure out how it was turned to such a small hole & so symmetrical. Not native Amer.. They didn't have potter's wheels until us honky's came around. The paint seems primitive style though.

      Does that take skill?

      It’s not completely spherical
    9. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 6 years ago
      The surface doesn't show marks of turning, but the surface appears to have been altered by the maker when made

      the signature appears to be the initials "OT " if you turn it clockwise

      Thanks for the observations. Still not having any success with identifying it. It’s seems to be in the style of a moon pot ...
