- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern USA, Colorado, Mesa Verde, Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloans, ca. 1200 to 1300 CE. A charming example of a pottery mug made in the Mesa Verde Black-on-White tradition in what is today southwestern Colorado. The walls gently narrow toward the rim and an elegant strap handle arches from upper to lower body. The surfaces of both the handle and body present finely painted design motifs: two registers of interlocking step motifs with a central band between them adorn the body, and slender frets adorn the handle. Made by the indigenous Ancestral Puebloans who lived in cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, the vessel's step motifs may relate to the multi-level style of their dwellings. Size: 3.875" W x 3.375" H (9.8 cm x 8.6 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.
