**First Time At Auction**

North America, Native American, Arizona, Mogollon Rim, Anasazi, ca. 1100 to 1300 CE. A hand-built black-on-white pottery bowl, the exterior walls presenting a decorative program comprised of repeating zigzag and triangular patterns, a black rim bar with diagonal rectangles with spotted interior borders, and a thin linear band separating the two sections. The jar itself is comprised of a rounded base, spherical body, a slight concave neck, and a flared rim; a two-pronged protrusion juts out from one area near the neck. The deep interior cavity would have been used to hold any number of different substances, whether dried or liquid, making this a simple yet overtly-utilitarian vessel! Size: 6.3" H (16 cm).
