Offered here is an extremely rare 100% original Anasazi bracelet which is made from New Mexico fluorite strung on cotton cord. This piece was discovered in the fall of 1982 by Chris Robinson (General Hospital fame) and two of his friends when they were excavating a ruin on a private ranch just south of Reserve New Mexico. The bracelet was found inside a small plain ware jar which accounts for the excellent state of ...click for details
Bold Mesa Verde bowl measuring 7.25" x 3", glued from about three pieces. The design is classic Mesa Verde; there is no addition of paint or plaster.
For reference purposes this is an example of a "10" with respect to design, paint and form even though it is in 3 pieses. A real beauty for the knowledgeable collector,
Any fetish of a Mountain Lion (note long tail over the top of the back) from the Native American cultures is scarce much less an original Mimbres example which dates from 950-1150AD. Measuring 3.25" x 1.375" x 1.75" it is made from fine sandstone and exhibits a large amount of the original paints of yellow, purple red and t ...click for details
This large Gila bowl is a very scarce subtype known as Perry Mesa which is defined by the addition of some red paint on the interior (see center circle). The bowl measures 11.25 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep. The geometric design on the interior is very well drawn and exhibits three bear claw or bird wing images in a swirling pattern. The exterior has an unusual contiguous black and white band which in itself is not often seen.
It is broken and glued and has a single minor triangular spot o ...click for details
To say this bowl in stunning is probably an understatement. This perfect mint bowl was discovered in the 1970’s near Grants New Mexico and was immediately sold to one of the three top collectors in the United States. After several years he sold it to a collector in Tucson Arizona who kept it until it was sold back a couple of years ago to ...click for details
The bowl offered here has a special place with me. During my serious collecting years from mid 1996 through 2001 there were four or five pieces that were in other collections that I intensely coveted. Even after my collecting turned into a small business the desires for these certain pieces never waned. The Four Mile bowl offered here i ...click for details
One does not have to say much about this Bitahochi (C. 1325 - 1400AD) bowl as it speaks for itself. In my opinion it is the best design and the best execution of any Anasazi piece that I have handled in the last 10 years and one of the three best that I have seen. It measures 8.5 inches wide and 3 inches deep, broken and glued with 1% - 2% restoration. ...click for details
Offered here is one of the rarest items that I have ever seen or had the pleasure to own….a “Feather Box.” This piece, C. 1050 – 1125AD measures 9 inches long, 4 ˝ inches wide and 3 3/8 inches tall; it has a bright white slip and very dark paint all of which is 100% original. There is a piece broken out of the back which is inconsequential given the rarity – there is no restoration of any kind.
A beautiful Socorro C. 1100AD Seed Jar measuring 7.5" x 4.5" with one small piece glued back into the side (very hard to see). The design is clasic Socorro and exhibits a wonderful checkerboard design on the lower half. There is no restoration or addition of paint.
Socorro seed jars are more difficult to find than large Socorro Ollas.
This is an excellent example of the early formative stage of Chaco which has a large open area surrounded by a simple banded design. This example is in perfect MINT condition and measures a large 13” across and 5” deep. Adding to the uniqueness of the bowl are two small lug handles on opposite sides of each other.
A very nice example for the collector that desires examples in perfect condition.
