Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Paquime/Casas Grandes, ca. 1150 to 1450 CE. A beautiful polychrome vessel of a round-bottomed form with twin loop handles joining rim to shoulder. Boasting hues of sienna and black atop a creamy beige slip, the body is carefully hand-painted with 3 registers of linear, stepped, and spiraled motifs in a manner of decoration that some have interpreted as being inspired by the southwestern landscape. The ornamentation style, with its fine lines, belongs 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. Size: 8.8" Diameter x 7.2" H (22.4 cm x 18.3 cm)

Provenance: private South Carolina, USA collection; ex-Artemis Gallery, Louisville, Colorado, USA, June 25, 2018, lot 71; ex-private Tacoma, Washington, USA collection
