- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Ancestral Puebloan / Anasazi culture, ca. 1050 to 1225 CE. A marvelous hand-built pottery jar displaying a flat base and walls that gradually expand to a rounded shoulder edge, a horizontal shoulder, and a narrow, annular rim. Fit with a petite discoid lid, this gorgeous ancient vessel has been intricately painted with a black-on-white design featuring a large horizontal band of vertical and diagonal striations flanking spiraling motifs around the body and a geometric design of diamond-shapes and checkerboard patterns along the shoulder and lid. A circular knob is at the center of the lid, ornately decorated with a lovely starburst motif. Size: 5.375" in diameter x 4.125" H (13.7 cm x 10.5 cm)
As the name implies, seed jars are vessels for storing seeds over the winter. Early Native American cultures did not have potters' wheels and created pottery by coiling clay and scraping the sides smooth. Ancestral Puebloan people depended on farming and pottery as a means of survival; both agricultural goods and pottery were traded between neighboring communities.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and the jar has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
