North America, Southwest, Central eastern Arizona, Anasazi / Ancestral Puebloan, Greater Mogollon, Greater Salado, Upper Gila (Highland Salado), ca. 1250 to 1350 CE. A marvelous and massive pottery bowl skillfully hand-painted in the Gila polychrome tradition with black-on-white decoration on the interior and black and white on red on the exterior. Featuring a grand, voluminous body, the bowl exhibits a hemispherical form with rounded base and smooth walls that gradually expand outward and then gently slope to an inward-curving rim over a deep basin. A thick black band encircles the interior rim of the vessel with dense patterns of striated, steppe, and nested motifs filling the basin. Similarly, linear designs of geometric and zigzag designs, vaguely reminiscent of Keith Haring's work, embellish the exterior. Size: 15.3" W x 8" H (38.9 cm x 20.3 cm)
The Salado (Spanish for "salty") peoples migrated to the Salt River in Southeastern Arizona. They resided in the center of three major cultures of the Southwest of the time period: Anasazi to the North, Mogollon to the East and South, and the Hohokam to the West and Southwest. There are three recognized styles of Salado polychrome pottery: Pinta, Gila, and Tonto. All were done in red, white, and black polychrome. Tonto Polychrome probably developed out of earlier Pinto and Gila Polychromes. Red and white slips are applied to the exteriors of bowls, but unlike Gila Polychrome, the interiors are undecorated but sometimes smudged.
