Description
Native American, Southwest, New Mexico, Mimbres Valley, ca. 950 to 1300 CE. A large black-on-white Mimbres vessel decorated with concentric rings around the interior walls, frets adorning the rim, and a snake-like form on the tondo. A beautiful vessel that is part of the Mimbres (and larger Mogollon) tradition of pottery with figural/zoomorphic as well as geometric decoration inspired by the natural environment of America's Southwest. Size: 9.25" Diameter x 4" H (23.5 cm x 10.2 cm)
The Mimbres people occupied the mountain and river valleys of southwestern New Mexico; the name we know them by comes from the Spanish word for the willows that grew alongside the river valleys. The artists responsible for creating pottery vessels like this were women, and many Mimbres women have been found in burials accompanied by pottery making tools.
