Anasazi Mimbres Crouching Lion Bowl Replica

Up for sale is a Mimbres bowl replication of what appears to be a crouching mountain lion. The now extinct culture of the Mimbres once inhabited the southwestern deserts of America approximately circa 200 to 1150 A.D.  Where did this culture go, why did they leave, is a matter of speculation and conjecture. What we do know is that they left behind a legacy of wonderfully painted ceramic bowls which depict the natural world that surrounded them. The piece in consideration is that of a cougar preparing to pounce. This bowl was handmade and painted at Starling Black Studio in the White Mountains of Arizona. It was fired in an open dirt pit and emerged from the coals and ashes with rich fire clouds and a smoky patina that can be obtained only from these primitive techniques.
