Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Mexico, Casas Grandes (Paquime) culture, Ramos Polychrome type, ca. 1060 to 1340 CE. A sizable pottery jar formed via the coil-and-scrape technique exhibiting a rounded base, a piriform body with a tapered shoulder, and a flared rim surrounding the circular mouth. Presented in sandy beige pigment, the exterior surfaces are liberally adorned with dense linear, spoked wheel, P-shaped, and stepped motifs in red-orange and black pigment. The most exceptional Casas Grandes vessels are of the Ramos Polychrome type which required great skill and aesthetic vision. Size: 7.35" Diameter x 7.625" H (18.7 cm x 19.4 cm)

The Casas Grandes (or Chihuahua) culture has always been the best known of the prehistoric cultures of northwest Mexico. International awareness of the culture first derived from its polychrome pottery and from the massive ruins of the culture's principal center, Casas Grandes - also known as Paquime.

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
