This incredible Mimbres geometric bowl measure 10.4" wide and 4" deep and is as pristine condition as the day it was made. The interior exhibits two completely separate complex geometric forms. The first in the center has four elements arranged in an opposing patterns of bars each feathered to a center point. This design is very reminiscent of a woven basket. The second element is on the wall of the bowl - it is a negative pattern white line that extends through three different mazes and three different solid elements. The white line is continuous in such a fashion that it becomes a single element returning upon itself. In doing so it becomes a single element itself. Without question this is one of the finest Mimbres geometric bowls extant - if that is not enough it is in perfect original condition. Discovered in the early '80's by the owner of a five acre parcel of land in southeast Arizona ..... what a day it must have been for him when he found this bowl! No runs, cracks, chips or errors!! |
