- Lot Description
Southwestern USA, east central Arizona/west southern New Mexico, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 1275 to 1325 CE. A large, fantastic bowl with bright colors that pop, created by artisans from the Mogollon Pinedale Polychrome tradition. The exterior features two thin black horizontal bands with white geometric motifs between them, while the interior has a complex black motif that resembles a bighorn sheep with its coiled horn visible on one side. Stepped, square, and fretted patterns create the rest of the highly abstract form, with much of the bowl's interior simply undecorated, earthy red. Bighorn sheep would have been abundant in the area where the woman who created this vessel lived and she may have been inspired by their form when she painted this. Size: 14.7" W x 6.5" H (37.3 cm x 16.5 cm)
The Mogollon people created pottery from iron-rich volcanic clays using the coil-and-scrape technique. The type is known primarily from the Pinedale Ruin, a settlement of approximately 200 rooms located near modern-day Show Low, Arizona, that was sadly lost to bulldozers in the 1970s. The people who lived at Pinedale would have been at the edges of the cultural sphere governed by Chaco Canyon, and by the time they created this bowl, lived a sedentary agricultural lifestyle. A bowl like this one may have held ground corn.
Provenance: ex-private C. Webster collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico USA acquired before 2000; ex-Jim Matthews collection
