Description:

Native American, Mississippian, Late Caddo, Titus phase, ca. 1430 to 1680 CE. A robust Late Caddo pottery jar distinguished by its Harleton Applique decoration, with bold, raised zigzag bands and nodular elements encircling the vessel to create a rhythmic, tactile surface. Characteristic of utility wares from the Titus phase of East Texas, these applied motifs likely carried both aesthetic and symbolic significance while reinforcing the vessel’s form. The softly flaring rim and rounded body retain traces of use, grounding the piece in the daily and ceremonial life of Mississippian Caddo communities. Size: 7" Diameter x 8.1" H (17.8 cm x 20.6 cm)

Provenance: private Colorado, USA Collection; ex-private Denver, Colorado, USA collection; ex-private New York, USA collection, acquired October 2016 via Selkirk Auctioneers & Appraisers, St. Louis, Missouri, USA
