Salado Cliff Polychrome bowl AD 1350-1450

Description

This is one of the largest bowls I've ever owned.  It's about 12" at the widest, about 11" at the rim, and close to 6" deep.  Cliff Polychrome is a type of Salado with a few defining features.  Notice the way the rim is slightly outflared, there's a design field on the inner rim at the top with diamonds and dots, then the solid "spirit line" (which is broken) below that, then a larger design field in the interior...those are Cliff Polychrome features.  The main design could be bear paws, or rain clouds, or darn near whatever a person sees in it.  The swirls and the hatchuring, the colors and symmetry are all Salado hallmarks.  Cliff poly wasn't made for very long, 100 years between 1350-1450, and doesn't seem to be very common at all, and this is nice specimen with fire clouds and a presence that shows very well.  PayPal only and USA BUYERS ONLY, thanks!  Payment within 24 hours of auction end, I will ship the next business day after payment clears via USPS Priority Mail (I have to charge a little extra on this one, it's BIG).  We're leaving Arizona and this piece belongs in the Southwest, or at least on the Mainland, I hope you treasure, respect and enjoy it as I have.  NO USA, State, or Native American customs, laws or protections were violated in its recovery from private land in SE Arizona...thanks!
