Native American, Southwestern United States, Arizona, Mesa, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1000 to 1200 CE. This is a lovely hand-built pottery Reserve style black-on-white bowl with a round and stable base, with a deep, hemispherical basin. The exterior surface is unadorned, but the deep basin is white slipped then painted with black bands that separate the bowl into quadrants with V-shapes pointing inward. Pottery vessels created in the Reserve black-on-white are typically from the border area between the Anasazi territory to the south and the Mogollon territory to the north and represent a cultural and artistic connection between the two cultures. Size: 5" Diameter x 2" H (12.7 cm x 5.1 cm)
