RARE KINISHBA BOWL C. 1325 - 1350 ad

Catalogue: Archives: Regional Art: Americas: American Indian: Pre 1492   item# 165248 (stock# A-67)

RARE KINISHBA BOWL  C. 1325 - 1350 ad
 click for details

Treasures Of Our Past
480-596-3700


SOLD 

The area which is now the east central part of Arizona saw the development of striking polychromes during the period of 1300 – 1400AD which included the types Showlow, Four Mile and Kinishba. It appears that Kinishba was produced in a very small area for only about 25 years and takes its name from the Kinishba ruin where it was first found. The slip is generally a peachy color with black and a characteristic blood red. This example is in perfect condition save a tiny chip on the rim – the paint bold and perfect. Very few examples are known and intact pieces are rare. Yes, it really is as pretty as the photograph.

Perfect save a small chip on the rim, measures 7.8” x 3”.

Treasures Of Our Past
480-596-3700


SOLD! 

Here is one of the best examples of the apex in the artistic creation of the Anasazi culture. This bowl exhibits a wonderful full image of a parrot with open wings and a turned head. The background is a beautiful red-orange, the black is bold and in some places glazed and the white clear and bright.

The most sought after items of the Anasazi period are those with graphic images executed in more than two colors as this one is.

The bowl, C. 1350 AD, measures 9.5” by 4”, is re-glued from three large pieces and has a tiny piece of restoration (about the size of a lima bean) at the rear base of the neck. Some of the white, because it is so fragile, has been enhanced.

SOLD 

This very large bowl is considered to be one of the top Gila bowls extant. The shape is referred to as a "cauldron" being very deep with steep walls that finish with a flair out at the top. Virtually all Gila pottery suffers from a flaking of the paint known as exfoliation, something not seen on this piece…the paint is bold and perfect with a hard and shinny finish. It would be hard to find a more perfect Gila bowl….yes the price is high but the condition, shape and art is perfect.

MINT measuring 13.5” in diameter and 5.4” deep.

SOLD 

A wonderful Reserve black and white bird pitcher with excellent white slip,superb black paint and a little curly tail. The most prominent feature is the wide band handle with a truly stunning solid image of a black lizard. In addition the painted design has been implemented so as to clearly define the wings and breast. Virtually all prehistoric Native American effigy pieces are made to be canteens; a pitcher like this is highly unusual.

This pitcher was unearthed in 1983 on the Hudson ranch which is just south of Reserve New Mexico.

Completely intact measuring 8.5” x 6.5” x 7.8”, no restoration of any kind.
