Item Details

Description

Native American, American Southeast, Nodena Phase, Mississippian Culture, “Walls Engraved” type ca. 1350 CE. A fine example of a rare ceramic type, most likely from the Missouri/ Arkansas border area. The vessel is comprised of a shell-tempered ovoid body rising to a cylindrical neck with a flared spout, all upon a rounded base. The walls are impressively thin, with a smooth finish and beautiful, mysterious incised engravings embellish the body. These include a pair of intertwining rattlesnakes which present expressive visages with large eyes and forked tongues at one end and intimidating rattlers at the other - on each side. Running crosshatch motifs adorn the serpents' bodies to indicate snakeskin patterns. Alternating with these creatures are two stylized circular spiraled motifs perhaps representing stars or suns. This piece is an outstanding example with very thin walls, intricate motif, and well-proportioned forms. Size: 6" W x 7.125" H (15.2 cm x 18.1 cm)

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available to the buyer upon request.

Provenance: private Kansas City, Missouri, USA collection, ex-John Townsend collection, formed in the 1970s and earlier
