- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Colorado, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), Mesa Verde, ca. 1200 to 1300 CE. A charming miniature example of a hand-built pottery mug with a flat base, tapered walls, a thick rim surrounding the deep basin, and a wide handle arching between rim and base. The white-slipped vessel features a dense, black-painted decorative program of inversely corresponding spirals within a field of line-filled triangles, with black stripes around the rim and base, a black-and-white pattern atop the rim, and an abstract reptilian creature painted on the handle. Size: 2.9" W x 2.7" H (7.4 cm x 6.9 cm)
Vessels from this tradition were made from a gray or white paste with angular fragments of temper, and this one has a pearly gray-white slip that was then overpainted with a black pigment made from carbon. These were made by people who lived in cliff dwellings like those seen at Mesa Verde National Park - indeed at the Park, there is a large house containing 94 rooms, a kiva, and a water reservoir, known as Mug House because its European discoverers, Charles Mason and the Wetherill brothers, found three mugs hung in one of the rooms from a rope of woven yucca.
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection, acquired in 2003; ex-private Montezuma County, Colorado, USA collection, found on private property
