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 from the Mimbres’ world were painted on the inside of bowls. Images of animals and people and as well as sophisticated geometric designs were rendered. The animals on this bowl may be images of a dog, possibly even a family pet.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.
