Anasazi / Mimbres Bat Bowl Replication

The now extinct Mimbres Culture (circa 200 to 1150 A.D.) is best known for the wonderful pictures they painted upon small to medium sized ceramic bowls. A popular theme was that of the bat. Several different varieties and styles of this subject have been recovered form historical sites and ruins. This bowl was hand built and painted. It was pit fired with juniper wood which rendered fire clouds and a smoky patina upon its surface. The result is simply a fantastically authentic appearing replication that would confound all but the most astute archeologist or dedicated collector as to its authenticity. Authentic bowls are few and extremely expensive if you indeed can find one for sale. Most of us must take a road trip to a distant archeological museum to even see these pieces of antiquity. If you love archeology and have an appreciation for the rawness of the primitive arts, then I believe you will not be disappointed with the acquisition of "Bat Bowl" or another one of our pieces.  Thank you for looking.
