Bowl with Three-part Antelope Design

Arts of the Americas

950–1150

Mimbres branch of the Mogollon, Classic Mimbres Black-on-white
New Mexico, United States

This three-part design features repeated depictions of pronghorn antelopes whose rectangular bodies are filled with diamond-shaped stepped motifs. The interplay of positive and negative forms and spaces adds to the visual complexity, as does the relationship between the organic, animal shapes and the decorative geometric motifs.
