You can make out the design seqience quite well, clearly showing an eye motif. Pots like this one were formed up and then a wooden paddle with the carved design was pressed againt the wet clay before it was fired. Deep south pots are rare, especially complete Complicated Stamp Designed Woodland pots, and this one is a killer!
