Native American, Southwestern United States, Four Corners region, Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), ca. 1000 to 1250 CE. This is a lovely hand-built pottery Reserve style black-on-white bowl with a round and stable base, with a deep, hemispherical basin. The exterior surface is unadorned, but the deep basin is white slipped then painted with linear and wavy matte banding that are diagonally placed to create a central square frame on the tondo. Pottery vessels created in the Reserve black-on-white are typically from the border area between the Anasazi territory to the south and the Mogollon territory to the north and represent a cultural and artistic connection between the two cultures. Size: 7.5" Diameter x 4" H (19 cm x 10.2 cm)

Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection; ex R.G. Munn Auctions, Native American and Western Art, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, February 2001, lot 1035; ex-Robert G. Whitehead collection
