- Lot Description
Native American, southwest corner of New Mexico, Mogollon Classic Mimbres, ca. 900 to 1100 CE. A lovely example of a Mimbres black-on-white vessel that was overfired, leading to the black pigment becoming a deep, earthy red color. This vessel was created via the traditional coil-and-scrape method and intricately painted on the interior with concentric circles at the center flanked by fineline pyramidal motifs adorned by horizontal striations superimposed by three V-shaped motifs. To either side are crescent shaped sections decorated with cross-adorned circular motifs and running angular linear motifs. Note the repaired kill hole through the base of this bowl. See more on this below. Size: 12.625" W x 7" H (32.1 cm x 17.8 cm)
Archaeologists believe that the Mimbres peoples would invert a bowl over the face of the deceased and punch a ceremonial "kill hole" through the bottom. It is believed that this allowed the spirit of the bowl - and thus the deceased - to be released from its earthly form. The "kill hole" is a sign of an earlier (ca. 900 to 1100 CE) burial underneath the floor of a house; later (ca. 1100 to 1350 CE), bowls were broken into many pieces, the pieces scattered around the deceased in the grave.
The Mimbres resided in a region that today is in New Mexico’s southwest corner, extending beyond the border with Arizona, and also moving into the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Archaeologists regard Mimbres asa subset of the Mogollon culture. The Mogollon were one of three major cultures - along with the Anasazi, also referred to as the Ancestral Pueblo, and the Hohokam - who lived in the ancient American Southwest.
