Group of two prehistoric/ancestral hand-built pottery vessels. There are different surface patterns including a smoothed one and one with an 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, "Salado cooking 1300-1600" and "Mogollon 900-1200 A.D.".

Largest pot: 6" H x 7" 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.

Condition is consistent with the projected age of these pieces being hundreds of years old and not everything is still intact, but these two pieces are in very good shape still. See photos for more condition details.
