| In early July of this year a rancher, while digging a trench for a waterline, unearthed this bowl on his private ranch land outside of Duncan Arizona. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK!! The Mimbres picture bowl measures 6.75 inches by 3.25 inches and has two perfectly executed opposing images of cranes. The bodies clearly show the design of folded wings and the necks have the food sack as crosshatched lines just below the head. A wonderful geometric design surrounds the birds exhibiting three complete band lines indicating this to be a late Mimbres piece. The bowl has been glued and restored to the extent of about 6% (see RESTORE photo). The restoration is not significant as it affects just the lower part of one of the bodies and a spot of one leg. The important features, the bills, heads and legs are virtually 100% there. The bowl was acquired from the rancher and has not been in any collection to date. This is a great opportunity to add a wonderful "NEW FIND" Mimbres picture bowl to a collection at a competitive price. | ||||||||
