Large Prehistoric Mogollon Corrugated Redware Olla Vase, Vessel, Pot

About the Item

Native American, Southwestern United States, New Mexico, Southeast Arizona, and Northern Chihuahua region of Mexico, Mogollon culture, ca. 1050 to 1250 CE. A sizable example of a coil-and-scrape pottery jar of the Reverse Indented Corrugated type with a slightly rounded but stable base, a broad body with a carinated midsection, a tapered upper body, and a thick, flared rim surrounding the narrow mouth. The construction of this brownware pottery vessel required immense skill as each coil of pottery was carefully indented with the potter's finger at remarkably regular, tight intervals - a step that contributed to the integrity of the form as well. The artists responsible for creating pottery vessels like this one were usually women. Many Mogollon women have been found in burials accompanied by pottery making tools, and vessels similar to this one have been found in the Starkweather Ruin in New Mexico. Please note this item may fall under the Safeguard Tribal Objects of Patrimony Act and may not be eligible for international shipping. Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian objects are only eligible to ship within the United States. Condition: Professionally repaired with base having been professionally restored; all done very well and difficult to notice. Some stable hairline fissures to base and rim, as well as light surface wear as shown. Otherwise, very nice presentation with good preservation of corrugated decoration.
