Anasazi Mimbres Bowl Replication of a Kudamundi

This bowl is a replication of a Mimbres design, a Kudamundi.  The now extinct Mimbres culture (circa 200 to 1150 AD) once inhabited the southwestern deserts of North America and today are famous for the fantastic bowls they painted of the natural world that surrounded them. The creature depicted on this bowl appears to be a Kudamundi eating the foliage of a small branch. The bowl was handmade and painted with a homemade brush from a yucca plant. It was wood fired in an earthen pit which rendered its surface with rich fire clouds and a distinct patina that can only be obtained through the use of these primitive techniques. The bowl was completed with a "kill hole'' shot through its center, the edges were chipped and abraded as a final touch. Although a replication, this bowl exudes authenticity that would confound all but the most astute archeologist or dedicated collector as to its actual origin. Recreated at Starling Black Studio in the White Mountains of Arizona, "Kudamundi" is sure to please all who love archeology and appreciate the simple beauty and the rawness of the primitive arts. Thank you for looking.
