• LARGE ANASAZI TULAROSA POTTERY
  LARGE ANASAZI TULAROSA POTTERY BLACK ON WHITE OLLANative American, southwest New Mexico, villages in southern Cibola Anasazi/northern Mogollon, Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) culture, Tularosa, ca. 1200 to 1400 CE. A grand olla that is hand-built via the coil-and-scrape technique and decorated with dozens of interlocking tendrils. Each black-painted tendril amongst the 4 patterned bands emanates from a pair of triangles, and an unusual pair of concave handles are present along the tapered lower body. Size: 15.1" Diameter x 13.9" H (38.4 cm x 35.3 cm) Tularosa pottery from the Starkweather Ruin has been divided into three styles - Wingate, Snowflake and Tularosa - reflecting similarities in decoration with their source types. Classic Tularosa Style designs are based on spirals, a diagnostic feature of the type. Though the meanings of many of these symbols have been lost via the passage of time, scholars posit that they are largely reference natural phenomena and human relations. For example, the interlocked spirals could mean friendship, the dotted lattice patterns may be intended to represent corn, and the triangles could be additional clouds. Many groups of indigenous peoples occupied the Tularosa region before the Apache drove them out in the 1800s. While some settled elsewhere, some groups completely disbanded. The Tularosa Basin in New Mexico was a rich source of Paleo Native American sites. Very little was known about the life of the Tularosa Basin; however, scholars have determined that the Anasazi and Mogollon peoples resided in the Tularosa Basin. The Anasazi culture existed from approximately 200 to 1300 CE, and their movement from the Tularosa Basin to the pueblos of the southwest has been identified. Tularosa is a village in Otero, New Mexico that shares its name with the Tularosa Basin where the town is located.
