| The late Gene Lang of Denver, Colorado purchased this 9 7/8” wide prehistoric Indian bowl (GL595) from the Chris Robinson collection (I believe Gene told me that Robinson starred in one of the TV soaps). The bowl has been typed as a Mimbres Black-on-White dating c.975-1150AD and is attributed to the Mogollon cultural horizon. It has been glued together and has minor abrasion restoration. The design in the bottom of the bowl is rather like a spinning square with jagged bolts trailing off the sides. The ‘kill’ hole in the bottom of the bowl is an ‘artifact’ in that it was done intentionally by the ancient Mimbres. It comes with a small display card, a grapevine ring on which to set it upon, a release certificate stating that the bowl is not in violation of any laws, and a write-up about Gene Lang. | ||
