      Looks to me, from the shape and designs, like it was made to look like a Mayan storage pot. After the Mayans migrated to southern Mexico they made a good deal of this type item for the tourist trade. That doesn't mean being for tourist trade effects it's value. Some such items only a few were made others were produced in large quantities. An expert could tell from the type clay, finish etc. the approximate era and maker. If you have a college near by they might have a department willing to have a look.

      Thank you fhrjr2, I will look into this more.. the clay pot seems to be of a light weight clay.
