Item Details
Description
Presented for your consideration is a prehistoric St. Johns polychrome bowl. St. Johns pottery was produced by the ancestral Pueblo, the Anasazi, between about 1150 A.D.and 1300 A.D.. Decorated on the outside in a traditional white geometric design and on the interior with bold black design, including butterflies, this bowl demonstrates the care and attention of the potter and should be in your collection!
Anasazi pottery is distinguished from that of other Southwestern culture areas by its predominant colors (gray, white, and sometimes red). Make this one yours today and own a piece of history!
PROVENANCE: Rust collection. The history of this collection comes from the private property of Dennis Sipe's White Mountain Hereford Ranch near Springerville, AZ. This well documented prehistoric site was excavated by William Hinckley. Mr. Sipe then wound up with the pottery and artifacts collection, which he kept and displayed until death. After Mr. Sipe passed away, the Rust family acquired the collection. Included is a copy of a history of the ruin (believed to have been written by Mr. Hinckley in 1987) in which it is clearly stated that no burial sites were found or disturbed.
MAKER: Unknown Anasazi potter.
APPROX AGE: (Prehistoric or Circa 1150 A.D. to 1300 A.D.).
SIZE: This item measures approximately 4 1/4 inches deep x 8 1/2 inches in diameter.
CONDITION: As found with some restoration expected. This pot has not been subjected to a black light or any other tests, other than visual by us, so the extent of any possible restoration is unknown. Buyer is responsible for determining this to their satisfaction before bidding. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description and are hereby incorporated into the description, specifically with regards to condition.
HANDLING: There will be a $20 handling / packaging fee for shipping this lot.
SHIPPING: The actual cost of postage will be added on top of the handling charges.
