Cochiti Pueblo Pottery Basket with Handle, Black & Red Floral Design

Native American, Southwestern United States, New Mexico, Cochiti Pueblo, ca. 1920 to 1940 CE. A charming hand-coiled pottery basket with a rounded, gourd-like body rising to an integral arched handle. The cream slip is painted in black and red mineral and vegetal paints with bold, stylized blossoms of pointed leaves, the black petals interspersed with red and brown accents. A red framing arc and double black bands around the lower body complete the design, above a traditional red-slipped base. Basket-form vessels were a popular creation of Rio Grande Pueblo potters in the early 20th century, a playful adaptation of Pueblo pottery to forms that appealed to visitors arriving by railroad. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. Item # 206354
