- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Colorado, Mesa Verde, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1075 to 1250 CE. A beautiful ceramic mug with a flat base, a tall body with a tapered shoulder, a thin rim, and an applied strap handle arching between rim and midsection. The white-slipped body is elegantly decorated with solid and striated bars in the traditional black-on-white style, and six vertical stripes course along the exterior of the handle. Size: 4" W x 4" H (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm).
Vessels like this one were made from a gray or white paste with angular fragments of temper and this one has a pearly gray-white slip that was then overpainted with a black pigment made from carbon. They were made by people who lived in cliff dwellings like those seen at Mesa Verde National Park - indeed at the Park, there is a large house containing 94 rooms, a kiva, and a water reservoir, known as Mug House because its European discoverers, Charles Mason and the Wetherill brothers, found three mugs hung in one of the rooms from a rope of woven yucca.
Provenance: private Iowa, USA collection; ex-Robert R. Anderson collection, purchased from R.G. Munn Auction, LLC (October 30, 2003)
