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 this piece being hundreds of years old and not everything is still intact, but it remains in relatively good condition. See photos for more condition details.
