- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, New Mexico, Mimbres Valley, ca. 950 to 1150 CE. A hand-built pottery bowl created via the coil and scrape method, into a hemispherical shape with a rounded but stable base. The interior is painted a creamy white with black linear triangular forms pointed inward towards a central creature. The highly stylized zoomorph has a square body, slender limbs, and a long neck with a horned head and open mouth with pointed teeth, and an arrow protrudes from its spine. An unusual, schematized animal that could represent a fierce predator or other important or supernatural being. The enigmatic animal and its symbolism make this a compelling example of Mimbres artistry! Size: 6" Diameter x 2.75" H (15.2 cm x 7 cm)
Provenance: ex-John B. Kendrick II collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired 1965 to 1990; John B. Kendrick II was that son of John B. Kendrick, Wyoming governor and US senator
