Featured in this lot is this Maricopa Pueblo Indian "Black on Red," owl pots, circa midcentury. There are two owl pots in this collection, with facial features and decoration added and a cactus painted on the wider pot. Pueblo pottery is made using a coiled technique that came into northern Arizona and New Mexico from the south about 1500 years ago. In the four-corners region of the US, nineteen pueblos and villages have historically produced pottery. Although each of these pueblos uses similar traditional methods of coiling, shaping, finishing and firing, the pottery from each is distinctive. The condition of these two pots is fair, with a slight repair to the ear of the wider pot and slight chips to the thinner pot. The measurements of these “Black on Red” pottery vessels are 4 1/4" x 3" x 3" and 4" x 3" x 3 1/4".
