Hohokam Checkerboard Horny Toad Platter Replication

Up for your consideration is a large Hohokam replication of a bowl that is an artifact featured in the Pueblo Grande Museum of Phoenix, Arizona. The Hohokam once frequented the Salt River Basin of the Sonoran Desert in prehistoric America. This Culture is now best known for the extensive network of canals they constructed to irrigate their crops and the prolific red on buff pottery they created. Even today if you walk along the our modern canals of Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona you will find sherds of pottery once made by the Hohokam. Starling Black Studio attempts to replicate original artifacts once created by now extinct cultures. Our vessels are hand crafted and wood fired in a open dirt pit which renders a smoky patina and occasional fire cloud upon their surface. The pottery is abraded, fumed and stained which results in a replication that appears to be an actual artifact hundreds of years old. If you enjoy the raw and unassuming beauty of primitive art and have a love for archeology, then I believe you will agree that our reproduction "Checkerboard Horny Toad Lizard Platter" appears to be an actual artifact from a culture that existed in a distant time from a far-a-way land. Thank you for looking.
