- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Mixtec people, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished pottery jar of an attractive form with a series of polychrome decorations adorning the upper body. The broad piriform vessel rests atop a trio of rounded nubbin legs and has a gradually tapered upper body that terminates at a thick rim that surrounds the mouth. Embellishing the upper body is a register of repeating, inversely corresponding stepped motifs that are enclosed within brown and white bands along the bottom as well as brown and beige bands with red accents on top. Two of the hollow legs still retain petite pottery balls that create rattling sounds when jostled. Size: 6.5" W x 7.375" H (16.5 cm x 18.7 cm)
Provenance: private Arcadia, California, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
