Native American, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Hohokam culture, ca. 1100 to 1400 CE. A large red on buff style pottery platter or bowl, with an elongated ovoid form, stable rounded base, and thick rim - hand built using a paddle and anvil method. The exterior buff surface is painted with thin red lines radiating from the rim, but the interior basin is the focal point of this vessel. The contrasting umber red is applied in mesmerizing linear, wavy, and circular motifs, divided into sets of 4, alternating around the rim and surrounding the central square and circle. This is a characteristic "quartered" design that the Hohokam artisans favored as an aesthetically pleasing and balanced composition. Size: 17" L x 14.5" W x 5.75" H (43.2 cm x 36.8 cm x 14.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-John B. Kendrick II collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired 1965 to 1990; John B. Kendrick II was that son of John B. Kendrick, Wyoming governor and US senator
