- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern USA, Ancestral Pueblo/Anasazi culture, eastern Arizona, ca. 1050 to 1225 CE. A beautiful, well-preserved ceramic seed jar, of the style known as Puerco black-on-white, its surface painted with a sure, steady hand to create a detailed motif around the broad body and another around the narrow mouth. The strip around the body is a series of repeated steps and serpent-like figures. These may be designed to evoke the shapes of the southwestern landscape and its wildlife. Around the unpronounced rim, triangles, zig-zags, and swirls create another beautiful motif. The mouth is pierced in four places for suspension, as is one upper side. Size: 7.4" W x 4.6" H (18.8 cm x 11.7 cm)
Seed jars were originally made to protect seeds from pests and extreme temperature fluctuations. Most, like this one, were ritually broken at the end of their useful lives. Puerco black-on-white is distinguished by its style of so beautifully on display here in the band around the body, as well as wide, paneled bands of decoration, again as seen here. The area of distribution for this type of pottery is the lower valley of the Rio Puerco and Rio San Jose, including the Rio Salado and Acoma province. It was made by women in the area for a very long period of time.
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection; ex-Mark Brady collection, Witches Wells Ranch, Sanders, Arizona, USA
