- Lot Description
Native American, Southeast or Midwest United States, Mississippian culture, ca. 900 to 1200 CE. A wonderful gathering of 11 hand-built pottery jars of petite sizes and in a variety of forms. A group of 3 jars feature compressed spherical bodies with minimalist faces applied to their obverses, and a slightly taller tripod vessel features an abstract avian form with nubbin wings. A quadruped zoomorphic vessel has bulging shoulders and hips, a perky tail, and a miniscule head, and a pair of circular vessels bear gadrooned exterior walls. Two squat jars have minimalist designs - with flared rims and broadly carinated bodies - and another features gently incised exterior motifs. The largest vessel exhibits 7 hemispherical bulbs protruding from around the circumference. Size of largest: 2.6" W x 1.625" H (6.6 cm x 4.1 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
