Mogollon jar has professional repair and restoration to areas of rim, and largest Salado bowl has professional repair to area of wall, both with resurfacing and overpainting along new material and break lines; smaller Salado bowl is intact and very good. Larger Salado bowl has one stable fissure to exterior walls and chips to rim. Mogollon jar has pitting, coarseness to surfaces, light encrustations, and minor fire-darkening to some exterior areas. Nice preservation to overall forms. Each vessel has an old inventory label on it.
