Small gray "pot" made from mud. From Subfamily Eumeninae. Possibly Eumenes fraternus judging from the range.
Several of these were constructed on the side of a pillar by the front door of the house where I was staying. Most were destroyed but this one remained.
Not sure what species made this lovely little construction. It was a bit too cold and past their season, none were around.

Looks like the empty pot of a type of pottery wasp, can't tell you what one sorry.
that is a delicate and beautiful shape. I wonder if humans copied from that?
