Native American, North America, Southwestern New Mexico, Southeast Arizona, and Northern Chihuahua region of Mexico, Mogollon culture, ca. 1000 to 1150 CE. A slender, piriform vessel constructed via a modified coil-and-scrape technique known as the Reserve Indented Corrugated technique. The vessel has a planar base, a rounded body, and a corseted neck beneath a flared rim. Each coil of pottery was carefully indented with the potter's finger at remarkably regular, tight intervals - a step that contributed to the integrity of the form as well. The rounded base suggests that this vessel was made to be set in a sandy floor. The artists responsible for creating pottery vessels like this one were usually women. Many Mogollon women have been found in burials accompanied by pottery making tools, and vessels similar to this one have been found in the Starkweather Ruin in New Mexico. Size: 4" W x 4.8" H (10.2 cm x 12.2 cm)
