**First Time At Auction**
Native American, Southwestern United States, Four Corners Region, Colorado, Dolores, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 980 to 1150 CE. This is a lovely pottery mug that was hand built with a thick cylindrical body and handle, and a fine example of the Mancos black-on-white tradition. The vessel rests on a flat base and tall walls rise to a thick rim. The surface is slip painted with a white-gray than covered with black pigments in a checkered pattern around the upper and lower body, with bands of solid black around the center, handles, and rim. This mug is excellent and well-preserved condition! Size: 4.5" W x 3.75" H (11.4 cm x 9.5 cm)
According to the Office of Archaeological Studies Pottery Typology Project, "Mancos Black-on-white was named by Gladwin (1934) and first described by Martin (1936). This type encompasses a very wide range of design styles and technological variability as compared to many other later Pueblo II types (Abel 1955; Breternitz et al 1974; Hayes 1964; Hayes and Lancaster 1974; Oppelt 1992; Reed 1958; Rohn 1977; Wilson and Blinman 1995). For example, Mancos Black-on-white subsumes design styles used to define the Cibola tradition types Gallup Black-on-white, Chaco Black-on-white, Escavada Black-on white and Puerco Black-on-white; the Chuska tradition types Chuska Black-on-white, Toadalena Black-on-white, Burnham Black on white; the Kayenta tradition types Black Mesa Black-on-white, Sosi Black-on-white, Dogoszhi Black-on-white, and the Rio Grande type Kwahe'e Black on white. Differences in the number of Pueblo II types distinguished in the different Anasazi regions is a reflection more of archaeological classification conventions than of stylistic variability in the Northern San Juan region. Mancos Black on-white was first produced during the last decades of the tenth century and is the dominant white ware type in assemblages dating from A.D. 1000 through about A.D. 1150 (Wilson and Blinman 1995). After A.D. 1150, McElmo Black-on-white replaces Mancos Black on white."
