- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern US, Anasazi (Ancient Puebloan) culture, ca. 1100 to 1250 CE. A beautiful Anasazi snowflake black-on-white ceramic pitcher of a classic globular form comprised of a rounded, near-spherical body, a cylindrical neck, an unpronounced rim, and a ridged strap handle joining neck to shoulder. The voluminous body is painted with nested columns of diamond motifs - the diamonds further decorated with alternating horizontal and vertical striations. Adorning the neck is a wide register of repeated black zigzag motifs bordered by slender black lines. Simply stunning! Size: 6.5" in diameter x 8" H (16.5 cm x 20.3 cm)
The traditional coil and scrape method was introduced to northern Arizona and New Mexico from the south approximately 1500 years ago, and 19 pueblos have created pottery in the four-corners region. Although the techniques of coiling, shaping, finishing, and firing were/are shared by various pueblo peoples, the pottery styles of each pueblo are distinct.
The Ancestral Pueblo peoples or Ancestral Puebloans were an indigenous culture residing in what we refer to today as the Four Corners region of the United States, including southern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. They lived in several types of structures, including pueblos, pit houses, and cliff dwellings; these were designed so that they could lift and tuck away entry ladders whenever enemies attacked, providing a measure of security. Although archaeologists referred to one of these cultural groups as the Anasazi, contemporary Pueblo peoples prefer the term Ancestral Puebloan.
