Four mile Polychrome Bowl
Culture: Mogollon
Circa: 1325
- 1400
Dimensions:
13" wide x 4 3/4" high
Comments: This
is a very large bowl and has important Iconography and Imagery. It
was found at the Four Mile Ruin in Snowflake, Arizona. The
Iconography across the shoulders and wings of the bird could be representative
of the rising sun. It is interesting to note that the bird image is
made up of a series of flight and sun motifs. We have named this
bowl "The Rising Sunbird". This is a very important bowl
to say the least.
The bowl has been broken and glued with an estimated ten to fifteen
percent restoration, the most of this is in the rim.

representative of a catfish. Four suspension holes perhaps for a
braided handle. The top of the fin has been restored as seen
in the before restoration photo. There is no other
restoration. All original paint! Very nicely painted with
artful design. "Museum Piece"

Reserve Bowl
Culture: Mogollon
Circa: A. D.
950-1100
Dimensions:
8 5/8" wide x 3 3/4" high
Comments: This
unusual bowl has small negative butterflies depicted around
the interior rim and an attractive eye dazzling design. The exterior of this piece has a very smooth stone
burnish, this is somewhat uncharacteristic for the type.
This beautiful bowl has been broken and glued with a couple of small
triangular pieces restored. There is some enhancement to the two barbed wire elements in the center of the interior. That being said,
the overall restoration is still minimal. "Museum Piece"

Mimbres Geometric
Culture: Mogollon
Circa: A.
D. 1000-1150
Dimensions: 7
1/2" wide x 3 1/4" high
Comments: This
very different bowl has a visual cross weave pattern that is not often
seen in a complete image. Quite often a kill hole will take out the
center culmination of this type of image. This bowl on the other hand,
exhibits the complete design and lacks a kill hole.
This really nice bowl has been glued in large pieces with a couple of tiny
chips filled. "Museum Piece"
