Pre-Historic Mimbres Earthenware Bowl

Mimbres Valley circa 950-1200 AD. Red painted on white with bright painted geometric designs, a rounded base and the exterior shows remnants of firing clouds. The piece has two graduated holes, that served as toggles for rope or cord. They are aesthetically round on the presentation side, but the outside shows concentric bow drilling to achieve the piercing into the pottery. Nicely restored measures approx. 9" x 5" high
