Fourmile polychrome bowl from Eastern Arizona, circa 1300-1400 AD
A stunning bird painting from around 700 years ago. Fourmile Ruin is located in the Silver Creek drainage in the general vicinity of Show Low, Arizona. The bowl is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago. Here's the museum's description:

PD License per Museum website, levels adjusted by me. This is the museum's photo, and this is the best Fourmile pot I've ever seen. Only virtually, so far....
This ancient artist anticipated the European cubist artists by about 600 years!
