Prehistoric Anasazi St. Johns Polychrome Olla

[ translate ]

Southwestern USA, east central Arizona / southwestern New Mexico, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), St. Johns type, ca. 1175 to 1300 CE. A beautiful pottery jar presenting a spherical body, a corseted neck, and a flared rim, all sitting upon a round yet stable base. The exterior of the vessel is enveloped in a vibrant hue of red pigment and then additionally adorned with white, black, and maroon painted designs, which features concentric rectangles, steppe motifs, and a singular horizontal band. Alternatively, the interior displays a beige-hued surface of bare terracotta. This spectacular vessel was created using the coil and scrape method by Anasazi artisans of St. Johns - the first Anasazi potters to make polychrome pottery during the prehistoric period. Prior to this, pottery was either black-on-white or black-on-red. Size: 7.4" W x 5.5" H (18.8 cm x 14 cm)
