- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, New Mexico, Mimbres / Mogollon, ca. 950 to 1150 CE. This is a beautiful hand-built pottery vessel with a painted exterior with zoomorphic forms and figures. The vessel rests on a flat base, the thick a carinated body has a broad shoulder and strap handle to one side- the other absent. A neck and slightly rolled rim. The ashen white slipped surface is painted with stippled dots around 2 spiny horned lizards (horny toads), a reptilian creature, and a humpbacked human figure that is playing pipes. This last figure likely represents the supernatural being Kokopelli, an ancient Native American symbol evocative of fertility and the safe birth of human, animal, and plant life. Horned lizards represent longevity and wisdom and were sacred in many southwestern cultures and are represented today in Zuni fetish carving and art. This beautiful vessel is in great condition with lovely dark smoke marks throughout. Size: 8" Diameter x 7" H (20.3 cm x 17.8 cm)
Provenance: private Hidden Valley Lake, California, USA collection, purchased on November 7, 2021; ex-private estate collection, New York City, New York, USA
