Prehistoric St. Johns polychrome pot. 1325 to 1400 AD. A variant of White Mountain Red Ware. This style is known solely from sites in Arizona. This example is a base red with white geometric designs on its outer side and bold, elaborate black geometrics on the inside. Anasazi pottery is distinguished from that of other southwestern culture areas by its predominant colors (gray, white and red). The history of this piece comes from the private property of Dennis Sipe's White Mountain Hereford Ranch near Springerville, AZ. This well documented site was excavated by William Hinckley. Mr. Sipe then wound up with the pottery and artifacts which he kept until his death. After Mr. Sipe passed away, the Rust family acquired the collection. Included is a copy of a history of the ruin (believed to have been written by Mr. Hinckley in 1987) in which it is clearly stated that no burial sites were found disturbed. 5 1/2" Deep x 11 1/2"D
