Burgess and his brother-in-law, Jock, used to spend time digging in a nearby mound and midden site, unearthing pottery sherds and various Native American utilitarian vessels. These pottery pieces were, no doubt, the influence for some of the vessels Burgess made over the years. This piece, once in the collection of Warren and Sylvia Lowe, bears stricking resemblence to documented work of the Native Americans who lived in North Eastern Mississippi some 300 - 400 years ago.
