AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hohokam pottery in the red-on-beige style (Red-on-buff) is a characteristic prehistoric pottery of the Hohokam culture in central and southern Arizona. It was produced from about 500 to 1375 CE and is known for its pale surface and red painting.
The decorations consist of bright, dark, or purplish red. As pigment, the potters used mineral iron oxides (hematite).
The vessels show geometric patterns, lines, spirals, zigzag bands, and occasionally human and animal figures (life forms).
Two vessels are offered:
1. A restored pot with a red geometric design. The pot has a diameter of about 9.5 cm and is about 6 cm high.
2. A repaired dish with a red stripe pattern. The dish has a diameter of about 9 cm and is about 3 cm high.
