Casa Grandes Babicora Polychrome Pottery Pot - Birds

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Northwest Chihuahua, Casas Grandes, Babicora, ca. 1150 to 1300 CE. An attractive polychrome Casas Grandes pottery vessel of a classic bulbous form, finished in a Babicora polychrome style (the black and red are for the most part separate entities whereas with Ramos polychrome potteries red designs are outlined with black), with petite bird-shaped handles, each delineated with fine line eyes, crest and tail feathers, and perched upon opposite shoulders. The body presents an attractive display of angular bands, spiraled step motifs, and checkered bands - all in russet red and black on a beige ground. Double perforations just below the rim, midway between the bird handles, presumably for suspension in the burial site (log crib). Size: 7" in diameter x 5" H (17.8 cm x 12.7 cm)

Casas Grandes potters created effigy vessels that in addition to being highly decorated with beautiful painted designs also featured modeled renderings of anthropomorphic - males and females - and zoomorphic figures - fish, snakes, lizards, mountain sheep, owls, macaws, and other birds as we see on this vessel. Such effigy vessels were often used as burial offerings.

In Babicora style designs, the red and black paint do not touch. This style occurs on Babicora polychrome (smoothed but unslipped brown vessels) and most examples of Villa Ahumada Polychrome (off-white slip), Carretas Polychrome (orange-tinged clay), and Huerigos Polychrome (same clay as Carretas, but slipped). This example appears to have an off-white slip that is burnished in some areas; hence, most likely of the Villa Ahumada Polychrome variety. The Babicora tradition is an outgrowth of the late Viejo period painting styles.
