Item Details

Description

Native American, Southeast or Midwest, Mississippian, ca. 900 to 1300 CE. A gorgeous coil-formed Bell Plain pottery jar boasting a tiered and rounded base, a globular body, and a broad neck that stretches to a circular rim. Enveloped in a hue of dark taupe, the exterior of this vessel is intricately incised using the Walls Engraved technique with a series of curved shapes filled with lattice designs, intended as rattle snakes, and a large trefoil with spikes along its petals. Caddoan pottery was the finest produced by the Mississippian culture, with very thin walls, intricate motifs, and well-proportioned shapes. Size: 5.25" in diameter x 5.375" H (13.3 cm x 13.7 cm)

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
