Lot 100C
Native American, southwestern United States, east-central Arizona/west-southern New Mexico, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 1275 to 1325 CE. A large and lovely bowl with a round but stable base, convex walls which form the deep basin, and a thin rim. Though the exterior is undecorated, the interior is adorned with stepped, triangular, and linear motifs in the classic Mogollon Pinedale Black-on-Red polychrome tradition. The Mogollon people created pottery from iron-rich volcanic clays using the coil-and-scrape technique. The people who lived at Pinedale would have been at the edges of the cultural sphere governed by Chaco Canyon and, by the time they created this bowl, lived a sedentary agricultural lifestyle. A bowl like this one may have held ground corn. Size: 12" W x 5.5" H (30.5 cm x 14 cm).
Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
