Item Details
Description
Native American Indian, North America, Southeastern Arizona, Anasazi / Salado, ca. 1250 to 1400 CE. A stunning and large black-on-white Gila Salado bowl, hand-coiled and smoothed from a red body clay. There are three recognized styles of Salado polychrome pottery: Pinta, Gila, and Tonto. Gila polychrome bowls such as this example were often decorated with complex designs, at times featuring stylized snakes, lizards, parrots, stars, the sun, and eyes, as we see in this example. Many of these images also appear in petroglyphs. The Salado (Spanish for "salty") peoples migrated to the Salt River in Southeastern Arizona. They resided in the center of three major cultures of the Southwest of the time period: Anasazi to the North, Mogollon to the East and South, and the Hohokam to the West and Southwest. A beautiful example, so finely handbuilt and decorated! Size: 9.125" W x 3.625" H (23.2 cm x 9.2 cm)
