Grave marker, Crawford County, 1890s. After the Civil War, some southern potters made ceramic grave markers for those unable
to afford stone. Crawford County markers were thrown and decorated on the wheel with incised combing and relief bands or tiers,
but were not glazed or inscribed. This example was found broken and discarded in the woods next to a cemetery and has been
restored.
