Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Chupicuaro or Michoacan, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE; Native American, Southeast or Midwest, Mississippian, ca. 900 to 1543 CE. A wonderful trio of pottery bowls: 1 West Mexican bichrome and 2 Mississippian Redware. The largest is the West Mexican bowl, which presents a hemispherical body with a slightly inward curving rim above a deep basin, all enveloped in beige-hued slip with red-painted linear motifs adorning the exterior. Next, the midsize Mississippian vessel is covered in burnt sienna slip and exhibits a round yet stable base and walls that flare out to a broad rim. The last and most petite Mississippian bowl also displays a hemispherical body yet features a wide rim over a shallow basin. Size of largest: 5.5" Diameter x 4.1" H (14 cm x 10.4 cm)
