• Lot Description
  Native American Southwest Pueblo Pottery bowls made with the coil cording method rather than forming on a wheel. Long lengths of local clay were rolled out and then coiled to make a round bowl shape. Then, the exteriors were wood-paddled to flatten the cords with a wooden or stone surface on the inside to receive the blows. Then they were slowly fired to remove the moisture and make a bowl for use. This black on cream bowl has a Hopi style design of effigy blackbirds. It is unsigned and is ca. 1920's. It measures 2-1/2"H x 5" diameter with a 4.4" diameter opening. The bowl is solidly intact. The monochrome bowl is identified as Salado and found along the Gila River in Graham County, AZ, northeast of Tucson. It was identified as 1100-1400 AD. An excellent display and early Southwest piece. Ex. Wilkerson, Ex. Tippman private collections.

  Condition

  Black and cream bowl with excellent early patina with usage and a hairline crack right to left that resulted in a repair. The monochrome bowl is solidly intact and has been repaired in a number of areas.
