Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Paquime/Casas Grandes, ca. 1150 to 1450 CE. A fine polychrome olla with a rounded base, a rotund body, a smooth shoulder, a deep interior cavity, and a thin rim. The exterior is covered in a creamy beige slip atop which a register of black-and-red geometric motifs is presented. The decoration style, with its fine lines, is of the Ramos polychrome group, representing the pinnacle of achievement for Casas Grandes ceramics. Casas Grandes was a hugely-important intermediary - in terms of trade, art, and culture - between the empires of Mesoamerica and the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) of the US Southwest. Size: 6.5" W x 4.9" H (16.5 cm x 12.4 cm).
