- Lot Description
North America, Southestern US, New Mexico, Mimbres Valley, ca. 950 to 1150 CE. A classic black-on-white pottery bowl created by the Mimbres peoples. The deep, round-bottomed bowl was carefully hand-built via the traditional coil-and-scrape metho, and a mesmerizing decorative program of stepped, striated, and triangular motifs adorns the interior walls. This is part of the Mimbres (and larger Mogollon) tradition of iron-based, mineral-painted pottery. Although much of Mimbres pottery has zoomorphic motifs, there are also examples like this one that boast wonderful stylized geometric motifs. Archaeologists have found bowls like this one in funerary contexts, placed over the face/head of the deceased - and the "kill hole," the intentional puncture at the nadir of the bowl, has been posited as related to this use. Size: 11.5" W x 5.7" H (29.2 cm x 14.5 cm)
The Mimbres people occupied the mountain and river valleys of southwestern New Mexico; the name we know them by is from the Spanish word for the willows that grew alongside the river valleys. The artists responsible for creating pottery vessels like this were women, and many Mimbres women have been found in burials accompanied by pottery making tools.
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection; ex-Red Ellison collection, 1940s to 1972, purchased from Roland H. Cipolla in 2007
