- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Northwest Chihuahua, Casas Grandes, Babicora, ca. 1250 to 1475 CE. A lovely terracotta polychrome vessel, of the Babicora stylistic variety, with a rounded but stable bottom, wide walls that gradually taper to a grooved neck and wide mouth, and a rolled rim. Size: 5.875" W x 5.5" H (14.9 cm x 14 cm).
In Babicora style designs, the red and black paint do not touch. This style occurs on Babicora polychrome (smoothed but unslipped brown vessels) and most examples of Villa Ahumada polychrome (off-white slip), Carretas polychrome (orange-tinged clay), and Huerigos polychrome (same clay as Carretas, but slipped). This example appears to have an off-white slip that is burnished in some areas; hence, most likely of the Villa Ahumada Polychrome variety. The Babicora tradition is an outgrowth of the late Viejo period painting styles. Size: 5.875" W x 5.5" H (14.9 cm x 14 cm)
Provenance: Whisnant Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, acquired over twenty years ago
