Native American, Southwestern United States, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1100 to 1300 CE. A sizable bowl formed via the coil-and-scrape technique traditional to Anasazi potters. The hemispherical vessel features a round but stable base, thick walls that culminate in a slender rim, and a deep basin. Around the interior of the gray-white buffware basin is a program of enclosed black-painted serrations that perhaps represent a series of hills or mountains, and a pair of drilled perforations on one side were perhaps meant for suspending the bowl when not in use. Size: 9.25" W x 3.8" H (23.5 cm x 9.7 cm)
