Casas Grandes Effigy
Culture:  Casas
Circa:  A. D. 900
Dimensions:  6 1/2" wide x 6 1/2" high
Comments:  This is no doubt one of the rarest Cases pieces we have had in some time!
In some ways it appears to be part human with four legs and two arms, with a pronounced hunchback and the head turned backwards.  A very abstract piece to say the least.  Looking at the piece in the face it could be a cat or human.  Its anyone's guess I suppose.  The piece is very highly polished with some small rim chips restored but no other restoration.
This very different item was once a part of the "Southwestern Archaeological Institute museum" collection of Alamogordo New Mexico.  The buyer of this Effigy will receive the newspaper article published in the Alamogordo Daily News on Sunday December 31st. 1989 pertaining to this museum.

Chaco Bowl
Culture:  Anasazi
Circa:  A. D. 1050 - 1175
Dimensions:  7" wide x 4 5/8" high
Comments:  This is a very different Chaco Bowl.  The unique thing about this piece is the way it warped during the original firing.   A well drawn bowl with a lot of fine line work inside the framework.  This really neat bowl is totally intact with no restoration or paint touch up.  There is one pressure crack present otherwise this bowl is in mint condition.

Chaco Bowl                                                   
Culture:  Anasazi
Circa:  A. D. 1050 - 1125
Dimensions:  7 5/8" wide x 10 5/16" long x 4 1/4" high.
Comments:  This is a beautifully designed Chaco Piece that developed into an outstanding scoop form during the firing process.  This very unusually shaped bowl is totally intact with no restoration at all.  This bowl has walls that are extraordinarily thin, 1/8" in most all places.  Its mind boggling how these people could maintain this thickness throughout the entire bowl with very little variance.  Truly they were exceptional potters.  The sharply pointed cleft designs and the frets that separate them are painted in a dark black paint over a bright white slip.   All of this together make up a well designed four panel layout that seems as though it were purposefully done to compliment the piece that it has evolved into.  Its inspiring to hold in your hands a bowl that is so fragile in appearance, that you know has survived almost a thousand years without so much as even a rim chip.

Mimbres Story Bowl
Culture:  Mogollon
Circa:  A. D. 1250
Dimensions:  63/4" wide x 3" high
Comments:  This adorable little bowl has fun story to tell................A story that is open to interpretation which adds intrigue and mystery.  It would appear that the fish is being "angled" with a fishing line and float bobber.  Other interpretations might suggest that this is a "talking fish".  Either way when you have more than one element in a Mimbres bowl it is considered a "Story Bowl".  This interesting bowl has been broken and glued with the interior cracks filled and an estimated 10% restoration that includes a portion of the belly restored but there is no conjecture.  The negative space makes a flower design.
