- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Casas Grandes, Ramos style, ca. 1100 to 1450 CE. A beautiful coil-formed and hand-painted polychrome Casas Grandes pottery vessel with a round but stable base, a globular body with a bulbous midsection, and a squat rim with a flared lip. Projecting from the rim is a curved panel displaying an abstract zoomorphic creature, perhaps a bear or a coyote, with perky ears, coffee-bean-shaped eyes, and a conical snout with bared fangs. The painted decorations are characteristic of the Ramos style; Ramos is a stylistic designation used when red-painted forms are outlined in black. The painted motifs boast lovely circular, stepped, and linear forms. The finest Casas Grandes polychromes are usually of the Ramos Polychrome style. The skill, standardization, and iconographic content show that vessels like this were more developed than other forms of artistic creation. Size: 6.625" W x 6.75" H (16.8 cm x 17.1 cm).
The Casas Grandes (or Chihuahua) culture has always been the best known of the prehistoric cultures of northwest Mexico. International awareness of the culture first derived from its polychrome pottery and from the massive ruins of the culture's principal center, Casas Grandes - also known as Paquime.
Provenance: private Greensboro, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-private Arizona, USA collection
