Selections from the DeForest Collection of Folk Pottery from the Matson Museum of Anthropology are on display in the HUB-Robeson Center Art Alley on the University Park campus through July 16. The DeForest collection spans the globe, with pieces from every continent except Australia. The pieces have been made by hand in small communities or villages. The bowls, jars, plates and other objects on display show pottery manufacturing practices, ritual observances, trade and ways of cooking, as well as the status of potters in small communities.
The collection was in the Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia and the American Museum of Natural History in New York before coming to the Matson Museum of Anthropology at Penn State in 1973.
