- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Colorado, Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloans, Mesa Verde type, ca. 1200 to 1300 CE. A fine example of a pottery mug made in the Mesa Verde Black-on-White tradition in what is today southwestern Colorado, its surface decorated with vertical bands of black - now faded to a yellow-gray - painted on the buff white surface. Vessels like this one were made from gray or white paste with angular fragments of temper and this one has a pearly gray-white slip that was then overpainted with black pigment made from carbon. They were made by people who lived in cliff dwellings like those seen at Mesa Verde National Park - indeed at the Park, there is a large house containing 94 rooms, a kiva, and a water reservoir, known as Mug House because its European discoverers, Charles Mason and the Wetherill brothers, found three mugs hung in one of the rooms from a rope of woven yucca. Size: 2.75" W x 3" H (7 cm x 7.6 cm)
