Native American, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Mogollon / Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi), ca. 1150 to 1300 CE. A fascinating example of corrugated grayware vessel that served as a petite pitcher or cup. The vessel rests on a rounded but stable base and has a globular body that tapers slightly inward to form a squat neck. A strap handle protrudes from one side from rim to body midsection. The exterior is an interesting texture created by coiling and rather than scraping the exterior flat and smooth, the coils are pinched or impressed to produce the registers of corrugation. Size: 3.5" W x 4.125" H (8.9 cm x 10.5 cm)

Provenance: private Eagle, Colorado, USA collection, acquired in the 1990s
