- Lot Description
Southwestern USA, east central Arizona/west southern New Mexico, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 1175 to 1300 CE. A beautiful bowl with bright colors that pop, created by Anasazi artisans of St. Johns - the first Anasazi potters to make polychrome pottery during the prehistoric period. Prior to this, pottery was either black-on-white or black-on-red. Here we see black-on-red interior, but added white-on-red on the exterior walls - the third color making for a polychrome designation. On the interior is a repeated, intricate pattern of interlocking triangles in black over a red background, with the tondo left red, so that the overall pattern looks like a sunburst. On the exterior is a stepped pattern of white on red. Size: 9" W x 4.2" H (22.9 cm x 10.7 cm)
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.
