Group of three prehistoric/ancestral hand-built pottery vessels. There are different surface patterns including a smoothed, raised nodular texture, and one with incised or impressed repeating pattern.
This group was purchased in a shop located in Santa Fe, New Mexico and a note inside one of the pots reads, "Mogollon 1000-1300".
Largest pot: 5" H x 5.5" W/D
The Mogollon were a prehistoric culture (ca. A.D. 200–1450) that inhabited the high-elevation mountains and canyons of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico. Known for their distinctive brownware pottery and pithouse dwellings, they practiced agricultural farming and hunting. They evolved from the earlier Cochise culture, later developing sedentary, village-centered lifestyles and transitioning from pit houses to stone masonry pueblos.
