Label TextThe Mimbres, the first ancient Southwest people to adopt agriculture, produced exceptional painted pottery at the turn of the first millennium (1000-1150 A.D.). Engaging scenes recording both daily life and mythology from the Mimbres world were realistically rendered on these bowls. On this bowl, a bear grimaces in pain from the deadly precision of a hunter’s arrows.Exhibition History"Art Des Indiens D'Amerique Du Nord Dans La Collection D'Eugene Thaw," Mona Bismarck Foundation, Paris, France, Somogy Editions D'Art, January 21, 2000 - March 18, 2000.
