Prehistoric Anasazi Black-on-White Pottery Bowl
Native American, Southwestern United States, Colorado or New Mexico, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), Mesa Verde type, ca. 1100 to 1300 CE. A lovely bowl of a sizable form constructed via the coil and scrape technique. The broad, round-bottomed bowl has a stable base, gently swelling walls that taper to a thin rim, and a petite suspension loop along one side. The basin of this stark white vessel is adorned with thick, black-painted bands that form concentric stripes along the top and bottom as well as parallel bars with only a narrow, stepped strip separating them. The unadorned basin center and exterior walls add to the pleasant minimalism exemplified in this vessel. Size: 9.6" W x 5.625" H (24.4 cm x 14.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Southern California, USA collection, started in 1969; ex-Dr. John Hilsabeck estate, Orange County, California, USA, collected from the 1960s-1980s
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
