Description:

Native American, North America, Southeastern Arizona, Tonto Basin, Salado culture, ca. 1350-1600 CE. The Salado (Spanish for "salty") peoples migrated from Mexico 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. Salado polychrome pottery was among the most widely traded in the ancient southwest. The example in this lot shows intriguing black-on-white painted decoration with iconography that suggests natural and architectural forms. In addition, we have a small, near-miniature bowl featuring a monochromatic, corrugated surface. ~4-1/2"T x 5-1/4"D at widest and 1-3/4"T x 3-1/2"D at widest Provenance: Ex-private Scottsdale, AZ Collection found on private land in the 1940s.
