Description
**First Time At Auction**
Southwestern USA, east central Arizona, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 1275 to 1325 CE. A lovely example of a black-on-red bowl with steep sides, a gently curved base, and slightly incurved rim. The exterior is painted a rich, earthy red, while the interior has the same red as a base and a dense geometric pattern of crosshatching, steps, and diamonds in black around its sides. The Mogollon people created pottery from iron-rich volcanic clays using the coil-and-scrape technique. The type is known primarily from the Pinedale Ruin, a settlement of approximately 200 rooms located near modern-day Show Low, Arizona, that was sadly lost to bulldozers in the 1970s. The people who lived at Pinedale would have been at the edges of the cultural sphere governed by Chaco Canyon, and by the time they created this bowl, lived a sedentary agricultural lifestyle. A bowl like this one may have held ground corn. Size: 7.55" W x 3.7" H (19.2 cm x 9.4 cm)
Provenance: private Colorado, USA collection; ex-private German collection
