Mimbres geometric pot, ca. 1100 AD ~ Explored 1
Private collection
Cover photo from book, "Decoding Mimbres Painting"
My review of the book, which I liked a lot: www.goodreads.com/review/show/2617089584
The authors interpret the design as an abstraction of a Datura flower opening, which seems reasonable. We used to have these growing in the wash below our Tucson house!
Diameter: 11 in/28 cm
