This is a fabulous Hokokam Casa Grande polychrome three-color Macaw pottery vessel from circa 1300-1400 AD. The olla pottery vessel features a wonderfully and professionally crafted ceramic construction that shows a olla design with polychrome geometric patterns painted into it with images of Macaw's painted into the side walling. Casa Grande pottery, including ollas (large, rounded pots used for storing water or food), dates back to the Hohokam civilization in the southwestern United States, primarily in what is now Arizona. The Hohokam people were active between 200 AD and 1450 AD, with their pottery production flourishing during this time. The condition of this Hohokama Casa Grande pottery vessel shows some chipping to the rim with some natural fissures tot he side walling and fading to the polychrome decoration. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Greenvale Farm Portsmouth, R.I. The measurements of this pottery vessel is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". The collective weight of this pottery vessel is 1lb 4oz.
