The Mojave (Aha Macav) people, a Yuman-speaking tribe historically centered along the Colorado River, traditionally produced pottery using coiled clay tempered with crushed sandstone or similar materials. They formed utilitarian vessels like pots, bowls, ladles, and dishes, often decorated with simple geometric designs in yellow ochre (which fired to red). Women typically made pottery during the dry season outside the home, firing it in open pits. This tradition dates back centuries, with historic examples from the 19th-20th centuries including painted wares, effigies, and dolls for trade or tourists.
