- Lot Description
Native American, North America, northern Arizona, north of Flagstaff, Anasazi/ancient Hopi, ca. 1275 to 1400 CE. A fine ceramic ladle constructed via the coil-and-scrape technique, painted with manganese-based pigment on bright red slip, and fired in an oxidizing atmosphere until it attained its yellow hue. An intricate painted decorative program comprised of varying geometric motifs and arranged in a pinwheel composition adorns the interior of the scoop and the stepped motif on the handle makes for a mesmerizing aesthetic. What's more, this ladle has an intentional spirit break inside the rim. Jeddito black-on-yellow pottery was among a long line of Hopi yellow wares made from clay that ranges in color from yellow to orange. Hopi oral history indicates that, when groups of people were leaving a village, they would purposely break all of their pottery they could not take with them, thus leaving evidence of those who once inhabited the lands. Size: 7.5" L x 3.875" W (19 cm x 9.8 cm).
Provenance: private Lewis collection, Florida, USA; ex-Artemis Gallery, Colorado, USA; ex-Hagen collection, acquired in the 1940s
