RARE MESA VERDE KIVA JAR AND LID, C. 1050AD
Kiva Jars are very rare and the shape and style is unique to the Mesa Verde culture. The style is define as a rounded, bulbous jar with a flat shoulder and an opening that always has a flat lip which holds either a ceramic or stone lid; in this case a ceramic disk.

This piece measures 10.5” x 8” and is just glued…there is no restoration or paint added anywhere. The paint is quite strong and offers a classic Mesa Verde on the upper portion and what looks to be Chaco influence on the bottom half. Should one choose, it would be easy and inexpensive to repair the couple of areas that are missing. For a reference purpose, three and a half years ago I sold a smaller Kiva jar (about 9”) that was 30% restored, with lid for $2,700. The price for this example is an exceptional value.
