Prehistoric Native American Anasazi-Four Mile Jar CA 800-1200 AD #434

Prehistoric Native American Anasazi Four Mile Jar 434. Description: Prehistoric, Native American Anasazi Four Mile Jar, CIRCA 800-1200 A.D. 5&1/2'D 5&1/4'H G 9 PERFECT CONDITION. Provenance: ex Jeff Hammond collection, St Johns AZ. Ancient Pueblo peoples, Ancestral Pueblo peoples, or Ancestral Puebloans were an ancient Native American culture centered on the present-day Four Corners area of the United States, comprising southern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado.[1] They lived in a range of structures, including pit houses, pueblos, and cliff dwellings designed so that they could lift entry ladders during enemy attacks, which provided security. Archaeologists referred to one of these cultural groups as the Anasazi, although the term is not preferred by contemporary Pueblo peoples.[2] The word Anasazi is Navajo for "Ancient Ones" or "Ancient Enemy".[3] Archaeologists still debate when this distinct culture emerged. The current consensus, based on terminology defined by the Pecos Classification, suggests their emergence around the 12th century BCE, during the archaeologically designated Early Basket maker II Era. Beginning with the earliest explorations and excavations, researchers wrote that the Ancient Puebloans are ancestors of contemporary Pueblo peoples.[1][3] (Source Wikipedia) A History of Pueblo Pottery: “Pueblo pottery is made using a coiled technique that came into northern Arizona and New Mexico from the south, some 1500 years ago. In the four-corners region of the US, nineteen pueblos and villages have historically produced pottery. Although each of these pueblos use similar traditional methods of coiling, shaping, finishing and firing, the pottery from each is distinctive. Various clay's gathered from each pueblo’s local sources produce pottery colors that range from buff to earthy yellows, oranges, and reds, as well as black. Fired pots are sometimes left plain and other times decorated—most frequently with paint and occasionally with appliqué. Painted designs vary from pueblo to pueblo, yet share an ancient iconography based on abstract representations of clouds, rain, feathers, birds, plants, animals and other natural world features. Tempering materials and paints, also from natural sources, contribute further to the distinctiveness of each pueblo’s pottery. Some paints are derived from plants, others from minerals. Before firing, potters in some pueblos apply a light colored slip to their pottery, which creates a bright background for painted designs or simply a lighter color plain ware vessel. Designs are painted on before firing, traditionally with a brush fashioned from yucca fiber. Different combinations of paint color, clay color, and slips are characteristic of different pueblos. Among them are black on cream, black on buff, black on red, dark brown and dark red on white (as found in Zuni pottery), matte red on red, and polychrome—a number of natural colors on one vessel (most typically associated with Hopi). Pueblo potters also produce undecorated polished black ware, black on black ware, and carved red and carved black wares. Making pueblo pottery is a time-consuming effort that includes gathering and preparing the clay, building and shaping the coiled pot, gathering plants to make the colored dyes, constructing yucca brushes, and, often, making a clay slip. While some Pueblo artists fire in kilns, most still fire in the traditional way in an outside fire pit, covering their vessels with large potsherds and dried sheep dung. Pottery is left to bake for many hours, producing a high-fired result. Today, Pueblo potters continue to honor this centuries-old tradition of hand-coiled pottery production, yet value the need for contemporary artistic expression as well. They continue to improve their style, methods and designs, often combining traditional and contemporary techniques to create striking new works of art.” (Source: Museum of Northern Arizona) View the other items in my shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CulturalPatina?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav, Prehistoric, Native American Anasazi Four Mile Jar, 434.

Native American Santa Clara Pottery Jar, Titled "Remembering the Stories

Native American Santa Clara Pottery Jar, Titled "Remembering the Stories of The Passed" by Madeline E. Naranjo, #1380. Discription: #1380 Native American Santa Clara Pottery Jar, Titled "Remembering the Stories of The Passed" by Madeline E. Naranjo. This piece won a Red Ribbon at the State Fair. "The story behind this piece is, we all have loved ones who have left us, as we deal with that loss, we try to keep their memories alive through stories of that person. This piece is an all male figured pot and that is unusual for me as I usually create with female figures. I chose males because men are usually the ones who carry the stories from our past (in my ancestral line anyways). In my family, my uncle became our story teller once my grandfather had passed years ago. His stories were always so great! The idea for this pot was inspired from him, and as I began to create it, he lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t want to stop its creation because I thought it would be kind of like a memorial of what he meant to me, and so I pushed on with it. Many tears would fall as I worked in it because its design and story mean so much to me. I was extremely happy with its completion, as it came out just as I had envisioned it!! The story begins at the tree and rotates to the left. There is an older grandfather, and uncle, a brother, a grandfather all talking sitting under the tree. These men represent the passed ones. Then you see a cloud line (black polished) and the men that follow are a father, a grandson, a son, a husband, and a father in law. These men are the ones who are remembering the stories that were told to them, and they are all in the present time. Near the top of the piece you see a matte area with sgrafitto images drawn in, those are the stories that the passed men have been known to talk about or share. Haha I’m my family men often speak about planting crops, hunting, native ways and sports! A couple of my family members have been in the movies!! "(Source: Madeline E. Naranjo) Dimensions: The dimensions are 7”H x 6 1/2”W. Condition: Excellent Madeline E. Naranjo a potter from Santa Clara Pueblo, specializing in deep carved black pottery. She is a full time potter who has devoted 28 years to preserving the ancient craft of her pueblo. Her style is known as traditional with a contemporary flair. The designs that one will find on her pots may be unusual, but they are her interpretation of things found in nature or even at home! Madeline is a mother to 5 children, 4 daughters, one son and one grandson, and she looks to them for inspiration or models many days. Many good thoughts and prayers go into the pottery, from the time that the “mother” clay is gathered, right through the final step of firing. The pottery Madeline creates carries much of her within them, making for an even more unique piece. Madeline has competed in Santa Fe Indian Market for 27 years, successfully placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd the majority of the years. In 2018 she was awarded the Sara Fina Tafoya Memorial Award for best in traditional pottery. “ I love my “job” as a potter and working with my mother clay has been a blessing in my life. Each time I work I think, how lucky am I to be able to play as a way of making a living.”閱讀更多

Elmer Gates, was born in 1929 and lived in Poston, Arizona on the Fort Mojave Reservation. He had learned to make pottery from his aunt. He then continued studying all styles of southwestern pottery and working with various techniques. He sold his work at the Colorado River Indian Tribal Museum in the 1970s. Gates was so confident in his chosen profession that he taught a number of young artists of Mojave and Maricopa Tribes, as well as non-natives, including Santa Fe ceramicist Rick Dillingham. Elmer Gates was a true artist. He experimented with many shapes, techniques and motifs. He made human figurines, but was also well known for his owls and frogs. His shapes were free flowing and not necessarily true to muscular form. Native American, Mojave Pottery Effigy by Elmer Gates, 135.

Native American Vintage Maricopa Pottery Frog Bowl, by Mabel Sunn

Native American Vintage Maricopa Pottery Frog Bowl, by Mabel Sunn (1898-1980), Mid 1900's, #1343 Description: #1343 Native American Vintage Maricopa Pottery Frog Bowl, by Mabel Sunn (1898-1980), Mid 1900's. A poly chrome bowl with raised figures of frogs. Dimensions: 3.5" x 5.5" Condition: Good condition, minor scuffs/scratches. Mable Sunn (1898-1980): Mable Sunn, Maricopa Reservation, was part of the revival influence on Maricopa pottery in the early 20th century and was certainly recognized as one of the most important Maricopa potters of the 20th century. There were two pottery revival periods for the Maricopa-one occurred around 1940 and the second around 1970. Mable was instrumental in both. She achieved fame for her pottery and lived her life on the reservation in a simple manner, without even air conditioning in the stifling heat of the Arizona summers. Her daughter, Barbara Johnson, and Barbara's daughter, Vicki Howard, are continuing the tradition today (Source: Adobe Gallery). In 1937 to 1940, Maricopa Pottery experienced a revival due to the encouragement of Elizabeth Hart. Elizabeth Hart was a United States Home Extension Agent that noted that the previous pottery pieces (1912 to 1937) showed a decline in craftsmanship. The vessels were poor quality, lopsided and/or lumpy clay, with unevenly spaced designs. The pieces of this time period were a product of tourism, a demand for a cheap low-quality souvenir. On Elizabeth Hart's urging and by the leadership of one of the top potters of the time: Ida Redbird, Maricopa pottery started receiving publicity and support from local museums. The improved product, thin walled and symmetrical allowed the potters to increase their earnings. Through this revival the "Maricopa Pottery Cooperative" developed, with Ida Redbird as the president of 17 to 19 other Maricopa potters. At Hart's urging, it was at this time that the potters also started signing their wares for individual recognition and credit. So, any Maricopa pottery piece that has a signature and/or hallmark was made somewhere between 1937 to present. A vessel that has no signature and/or hallmark was either made prior to 1937 OR the potter forgot to sign the piece. Swastikas were a common design used in Maricopa pottery until 1941. The swastika symbol, for the Maricopa's, represents the four sacred directions, coordinates of the universe, the wheel of life, the supreme deity. Due to World War II the symbol lost it's popularity with the tourists so the design was no longer used. When Mary Fernald inquired as to the meaning of other designs used, both Mabel Sunn and Ida Redbird agreed that there is no meaning behind most all of the decorations. However, frogs may have symbolized rain. All the Maricopa potters had their favorite designs and symbols, but all were free to borrow from someone else's designs. Despite the borrowing and combination of styles, many times the artist's hand is still individual enough for identification without signature. Some vessels have a whitish film on them, this has been linked to salty clay usage. If the slip is flaking off it probably is due to the slip being applied to heavily all at once. The slip adheres better to the clay if applied in layers to the desired thickness. The slip can also flake if it had been rubbed to hard with a stone. Maricopa pottery is Paddle and Anvil made. There is no temper in their decorated pots, however they did add temper to cookware's. Cookware's were made from a different clay source, they were longer fired and had sand temper added for durability. (Source: rarepottery.info)閱讀更多
