The Mimbres Culturewas related to the Anasazi Tribe, although because of their geographicisolation Mimbres Art took a divergent tangent from the Anasazi. A legacy ofsmall to medium sized ceramic bowls which depicted the natural world were leftto us. This reproduction bowl is rendered with an image of a hare upon itsinterior surface. The hare was a common motif in Mimbres artwork, and severalrenditions of this theme have been unearthed from their abandoned ruins. Whythey left and where ...they went is open to conjecture. The Mimbres Culturespanned from circa 200 to 1150 A.D. where they resided in the southwest desertsof America. Starling Black Studio in theWhite Mountains of Arizona attempts to reproduce realistic looking replicationsof original artifacts. Our vessels are handmadeand painted with homemade brushes of hair or yucca. A dirt pit firing ofjuniper wood renders rich fire clouds and a smoky patina upon the bowl'ssurface. If you enjoy the rawness of primitive art, then I believe you will notbe disappointed in our work. Thank you for looking.Size: Six (6) Inches DiameterPrice: $85.00 with free handling and shipping to thecontiguous United States of America
