A Mogollon Corrugated Pottery Jar - From the Mesa Verde Museum, Ca 1000 to 1150 CE, #1500Description: #1500 A Mogollon Corrugated Pottery Jar - From the Mesa Verde Museum, Ca 1000 to 1150 CE. Southwestern USA, Southwestern New Mexico, Southeast Arizona, and Northern Chihuahua region of Mexico, Mogollon culture, ca. 1000 to 1150 CE. A charming miniature hand-built grey pottery olla of a rounded form with a slightly flared rim, its form of the Reserve Indented Corrugated style. This technique requires immense skill. Each coil 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 rounded base suggests that this vessel was made to be set in a sandy floor. 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. Dimensions: Size: 3" W x 2.7" H (7.6 cm x 6.9 cm) Provenance: ex-Jo
