Lot 95I
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Paquime/Casas Grandes, 1150 to 1450 CE. A pair of small bowls, one in the rare form of having a painted interior. Both are small, coil-made, with black and red design elements. Size: 4.25" W x 2.55" H (10.8 cm x 6.5 cm)
The decoration style, with its fine lines, looks to belong to the Ramos Polychrome group, which represents the pinnacle of achievement for Casas Grandes ceramics. Casas Grandes is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and was a hugely important intermediary -- in terms of trade, art, and culture -- between the empires of Mesoamerica and the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) of the US Southwest.
Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.
