- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Ancestral Puebloan / Anasazi culture, ca. 1050 to 1225 CE. An impressive pottery jar formed via the coil-and-scrape technique featuring a round base, a globular body, and a discoid lid with a modern, lizard-topped lid. The ancient vessel is skillfully adorned with black-on-white decoration consisting of a horizontal band that divides the vessel in half with 2 rows of triangles on the lower half and a dotted ring below a checkered motif on the upper half. A circle of rhomboids embellishes the rim, surrounding the lizard-form handle, which displays a thick body, a sinuous tail, a petite head, a spotted back, and large feet with lengthy toes. Size: 6.8" W x 5.625" H (17.3 cm x 14.3 cm); 6.3" H (16 cm) with lid; 6.7" H (17 cm) with lid on included custom stand.
Seed jars were originally made to protect seeds from pests and extreme temperature fluctuations. Many of these jars were broken when their owners needed to extract the seeds, making this intact example a rare find!
