Catawba Indian Pottery King Hagler Effigy Pot By Earl Robbins
Item History & Price
Available for sale is a Earl Robbins King Hagler Effigy Pot.
This piece is from the Thomas J Blumer Collection and is among one of several pieces that he acquired from the Catawba.
Tom had a close relationship with many of the potters on the Reservation; however, Earl Robbins, Nola Campbell, and Georgia Harris were very dear to Tom and Tom was dear to them.
About half of Tom's pottery resides in ...the archive of the Native American Studies Center in Lancaster, SC. The other half, about 1000 pcs, are here with me at our home in Columbia. Tom passed away on April of 2018, and I am now selling off some of the collection, bit by bit to subsidize two books that I am writing. One on Tom;s life and life's work and the other on Tom's passion for art, both collecting it and creating it.
This Piece measures: 8.25" high and 8.5 inches from nose to nose.
It is signed and dated by Earl Robbins. There is a remnant of a sticker on the bottom of the pot. It has been there since Tom purchased the pot and is stuck fairly well. I will leave it up to the buyer to remove it if they wish to do so.
Study the photos as they are a key part of the description.
