Mimbres/Anasazi Turtle Bowl Replication

This piece is a reproduction bowl of a whimsical turtle design originally created by the extinct Mimbres Tribe that prehistorically existed in the American Southwest circa 200 to 1150 A.D. The Mimbres Culture is now best known for the pictorial representations their artists painted upon small to medium sized ceramic bowls of the natural world that surrounded them. This replication bowl was handmade, painted with homemade brushes and wood fired in an earthen pit. Its surface is rich with natural fire clouds and a pleasing smoky patina rendered from the coals and ashes of the Juniper wood fire process. “Turtle Bowl” was replicated in Starling Black Studio by Coral and Starling Black in eastern Arizona probably not far from where the bowl was originally created. Original Mimbres bowls are difficult to come by and if you are fortunate enough to find one for sale the price is often prohibitive. Replication pottery is a great alternative at a reasonable price. We make our pottery to appear as the authentic originals from the extinct cultures. If you love the rawness of ancient artifacts and have an appreciation for prehistoric fine art you will not be disappointed with our work. Thanks for looking.
