Item Details
Description
Culture: Native American
Classification: Mesa Verde black on white Mogollon
Date: 1200 AD - 1300 AD
Size: 6 inches diameter w/ handle and 4.5 inches tall
One of the most recognizable types of pre-historic ceramics. This is the largest true mug I have seen and it remains in found condition with no repairs and no restoration. Ancient bow driled holes near rim, this was done in ancient times to repair the bowl. Sinew would have been sewn into the holes. When it dried it would seal the crack.
Provenance: Private CO. collection aquiered on private land in accordance with state and federal laws.
Condition
As found, a couple stable hairline cracks, appears they are ancient.
