- Lot Description
Native American, Southeast or Midwest, Mississippian, ca. 900 to 1543 CE. A lovely hand-built pottery bowl in the form of a zoomorph laying on his back with his head facing inwards over the deep basin. The vessel itself presents with a flat, circular base, a rounded body, and an annular rim decorated with a rolled and punctated clay applique. Displaying his head on one side and his downward pointed tail at the other, the adorable animal features two triangular ears, a pair of bulging eyes, a round snout, and an open mouth with intricately incised teeth. The exterior of the ancient dish has been glazed a lustrous hue of ash grey. Size: 6" in diameter x 2.5" H (15.2 cm x 6.4 cm)
According to "Ancient Indian Pottery of the Mississippi River Valley" by Roy Hathcock, "Few animals that were part of the Mississippian environment failed to be represented in art forms. In some vessels, the animal motif may require speculartion or imagination for interpretation of identity…" (Camden, AR: Hurley Press, Inc., 1976)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: private Kansas City, Missouri, USA collection; ex-John Townsend collection, acquired in the 1970s and earlier
