| This remarkable prehistoric Native American black-on-white ‘bowl in a bowl’ (JBB7) was restored by the late Gene Lang of Denver and, in the opinion of some, is one of the finest examples of his restoration skill. Typed and dated by Gene as a Tularosa Black-on-White Olla (or as Gene referred to it, a “Jar in a Seed Bowl”), c.1000-1250AD from the Anasazi group, he obtained it in the later part of the 20th century from an old Denver collection with the information that it had been originally found on the “Carrizo Ranch” in Arizona. Measuring 8 ¼” in height and 6 ½” at its widest point, the bold and well-balanced repeated design is framed with cross-hatching. Each of the encircling rhomboidal elements encloses a pattern that may represent distant mountain peaks. A circlet of rays spreads down from the base of the neck over the jar’s upper shoulder. This decorative piece was glued together from several dozen fragments and filled in with new clay where shards were missing (about 10-15% of the pot), the new surfaces of which Lang carefully painted and additionally painted the surface of any exterior filled crack. As was typical of Gene’s work, the inside of the olla was not re-finished in order that the repairs could always be viewed on its inner surface through the open mouth. This handsome olla comes with a display card, a certificate guaranteeing authenticity, and a release stating that if was found on private lands.
