Caddo Engraved Tri-Lug Pottery Bowl
Starting Bid: $400
(0 Bids)
Native American, Midwestern / Southeastern, United States, Mississippian / Caddo culture, ca. 1200-1600 CE. A low-walled earthenware bowl rising from a rounded base, crowned by three bulbous lug projections, hand-built in burnished brown clay and incised to form a curvilinear geometric ornament. Such engraved wares are a signature achievement of the Caddo peoples of the Trans-Mississippi South, whose villages and mound centers flourished across present-day Arkansas, Louisiana, eastern Texas, and Oklahoma. Vessels of this scale and refinement likely served in mortuary and feasting contexts, accompanying the dead or marking ceremonial exchange among the ranked lineages of the Caddoan world.. 6.25" W x 4" H (15.9 cm W x 10.2 cm H).
