- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern USA, Colorado or New Mexico, Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloans, ca. 1100 to 1300 CE. A wonderfully formed ceramic pitcher with stylized geometric motifs in the black-on-white Mesa Verde style of this region. The body widens dramatically near the base to form a wide diameter with a long shoulder. Above this is a cylindrical neck that terminates in a thin, unpronounced rim. Two lugged handles sit on the broad waist. This vessel was made by hand coiling pottery, smoothing it, and baking it in an open air fire. The spiraling, triangular motifs may represent the passage of time, a particular clan, or may reflect the personal preferences of the women who made them. This type of vessel was made for carrying water, with a narrow neck to prevent evaporation and allow a plug. Size: 15" W x 12.75" H (38.1 cm x 32.4 cm)
Provenance: ex-private C. Webster collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico USA acquired before 2000

#155975Repaired from multiple pieces, with small losses along a few of the repair lines. One small area on one side of added material in the losses along the edges of repairs. These repairs are well done and unobtrusive. A few small losses along the rim as well. The surface is lightly weathered, with small chips, nicks, and scratches, but overall the original motifs and form are very well preserved as shown. Old collection label handwritten on the underside.Condition
