Description:

Native American, North America, Southeastern Arizona, Salado culture, ca. 1350-1600 CE. The Salado (Spanish for "salty") peoples migrated to the Salt River in Southeastern Arizona. They resided in the center of three major cultures of the Southwest of the time period: Anasazi to the North, Mogollon to the East and South, and the Hohokam to the West and Southwest. There are three recognized styles of Salado polychrome pottery: Pinta, Gila, and Tonto. All were done in red, white, and black polychrome. Gila polychrome bowls such as this example were often decorated with complex designs, at times featuring stylized snakes, lizards, parrots, stars, the sun, and eyes. Many of these images also appear in petroglyphs. This bowl presents a star-like or astral design in black and white on the interior complemented by a red exterior. 8"D at widest point x 4-1/4"H
