Title :  Very Rare, Mimbres Floral Polychrome Bowl

Ca. 950 AD - 1300 AD
Description:  A fabulously executed Mimbres polychrome bowl. One of the rarest of all Mimbres pottery the polychrome accounts for less than 1% of all Mimbres in existence. Mimbres are well known for their pictorial bowls, but the polychromes are much more rare. The geometric design is a fabulous example of bold and fine line interlocking motifs with two floral patterns coming from the center. Mimbres is one of the most recognizable and valuable of all the south west pottery. The Mimbres seem to have developed from Mogollon culture, as there are clear connections between the early pottery and house types. The people grew corn and beans, and were also hunters and gatherers. Villages consisted of small pithouse or pueblo groupings, and usually had a small rectangular ceremonial structure known as a kiva. The most common burial practices intramural inhumation. Unlike the Mogollon, who often buried numerous vessels with their dead, the Mimbres usually provided only a single bowl, ritually "killed" by punching a hole in the bottom to release the spirit.  Legally purchased from a private collection, legal release and disclosure accompanies the piece.

Condition : Single rim chip restored, broken and glued with very slight paint enhancement just around the kill hole, not effecting the polychrome
