- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), Chaco, ca. 950 to 1200 CE. This is a remarkable effigy pitcher that is hand-built to resemble a bird. The elongated body rests on a rounded but stable base, and a rounded tail end projects upward from the body - reminiscent of a duck. An opening in the neck leads into the hollow interior and a ribbed handle connects the rim to the midsection, and two rounded protuberances flank the rim on either side of the handle. These knobs might have functioned as lugs for securing a lid or covering. The exterior is slipped in a white-gray pigment then decorated with linear motifs of triangles, wavy lines, and solid banding - that represent the folded wings and plumage of the bird. The piece is made using the coil and scrape method, to smooth the walls and then painted before firing. Size: 6" L x 4" W x 4.25" H (15.2 cm x 10.2 cm x 10.8 cm)
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection, purchased in 2001; ex-Cheryl S. Johnson and Fred Morrill collection
