Praying Mantis Egg Sack?

That’s what I’m thinking it is.

some mantid egg casings do look like that, but it seems like there’s clay mixed into it, which makes me think it might be a potter wasp or potter bee

I don’t think so. The mantis cases I’ve seen are less round and have what looks like vents.

those are the more common types. There are some mantis cases though that are roundish/pot-like and don’t have the typical slit-like vents
