Native American, Southwestern United States, Four Corners Region, southern Colorado Plateau, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1030 to 1175 CE. A sizable redware pottery jar formed via the traditional Anasazi coil-and-scrape technique with a slightly rounded but stable base, an inverted bell-shaped body with a bulging carination, a rounded shoulder, and a thin rim surrounding the deep basin. The russet-hued exterior is densely decorated with black pigment that forms spiraling right-angle bands, solid stripes, and slash-filled stripes. While undecorated, the base and lower body exhibit areas of fire-darkening that almost appear to be intentional areas of embellishment! Size: 12.85" Diameter x 8" H (32.6 cm x 20.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-John B. Kendrick II collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired 1965 to 1990; John B. Kendrick II was that son of John B. Kendrick, Wyoming governor and US senator

Repair and restoration to rim, with resurfacing and overpainting along new material and break lines. Abrasions, nicks, small chips, and pitting, with fading and darkening to pigment in scattered areas, and large areas of fire-darkening visible along base. Nice preservation to black pigment in most areas.
