Black-on-white ladle
| Description: |
The Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) lived in the present-day Four Corners region, which includes New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. They lived in this area from AD1 and AD1300 and are thought to be the ancestors of the modern Pueblo Indians now living in New Mexico and Arizona. The pottery was made from sandstone and shale clay, and covered in black or red geometric designs. The colors are carefully painted on with brushes made from the yucca plant. This ladle was made about AD 1200. |
