Native American, Southwestern United States, New Mexico, Mimbres / Mogollon, ca. 950 to 1150 CE. A broad pottery bowl of delightful form with a round but stable base and a thick rim. The white-ground basin is decorated with a complex series of black-painted triangular forms, some solid and some filled with thin stripes, and the stone-burnished surfaces are smooth to the touch; the exterior surfaces are undecorated. Size: 11.11″ Diameter x 4.3″ H (28.2 cm x 10.9 cm)
The Mimbres people occupied the mountain and river valleys of southwestern New Mexico; the name we know them by is 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.
