| The serrated edges along the rounded portions at the ends of the central design probably represent bird wings or feathers. Identified as a Mimbres Black-on-White bowl dating c.975-1150AD, and attributed to the Mogollon cultural horizon, the bowl (GLC538A) has been glued together with minor restoration (less than 5%). There is a small amount of reddish oxidation along the upper rim on the inside of part of the bowl that occurred during the original firing. From the estate of the late Gene Lang of Denver, he purchased the piece from the Robert Anderson collection, Mason City, Iowa. The central hourglass design is bounded on opposite sides by decorative elements that appear to be the same at first glance, but upon closer inspection, notable differences can be seen. A fine ancient work of art that comes with a small display card, a grapevine ring to set the bowl upon, a release certificate stating that the bowl is not in violation of any laws, and a write-up about Gene Lang…artist, pot historian, conservator. | |||||
