The bowl offered here is a real anomaly in that it is clearly a Mimbres piece but it has a distinctive Tularosa design on the interior. The bowl measures 7.4 inches wide and 2 inches deep with pressure cracks and a chip on the rim. There is no restoration of any kind. It is known that the different groups (Mimbres, Tularosa, Snowflake, etc.) interrelated and there are some scarce ceramic pieces that survive which indicate the contact and possibly some marriages between the groups. Examples like these are quite unusual.
