- Lot Description
North America, Southwest, Southeastern Arizona, Anasazi / Ancestral Pueblo, Greater Mogollon, Greater Salado, Upper Gila (Highland Salado), ca. 1300 to 1450 CE. A stunning and quite sizeable Gila Salado effigy vessel, hand-coiled and smoothed from a red clay. Sitting upon a flat base, the overall form presents with impressively thin walls that rise up to a broad, rounded shoulder, then taper inwards to a narrow, cylindrical neck, a gently flared rim, and an annular mouth. The vast majority of the russet-hued surface is painted with black and cream intricate design motifs: a large band around the shoulder of spiraling, undulating, rectangular, and circular forms and striations and mesmerizing geometric pattern on the neck. A beautiful example, so finely hand-built and decorated! Size: 14.25" in diameter x 10.25" H (36.2 cm x 26 cm)
There are three recognized styles of Salado polychrome pottery: Pinta, Gila, and Tonto. Gila vessels like this example were often decorated with complex designs, at times featuring stylized snakes, lizards, parrots, stars, the sun, and eyes. Many of these images also appear in petroglyphs. The Salado (Spanish for "salty") peoples migrated to the Salt River in Southeastern Arizona. They resided in the center of three major cultures of the Southwest of the time period: Anasazi to the North, Mogollon to the East and South, and the Hohokam to the West and Southwest.
