The Anasazi (ancient people), whose culture thrived around 1100 AD, produced elegant pottery with interesting designs mostly in black and white. I learned that the descendants of the anasazi continues the pottery tradition up until now. In Rock Art Ranch, they have quite a bit of selection of Anasazi pottery. These are just a few of them:
One and only known square pot (left) that they know about
This a a cradleboard for a papoose, a term for Native American baby. They strapped the baby on the back of the mother or leaned the baby against the tree to keep the baby under control.
rock art it is!
almost the same entries we have
will link you up
Those cradleboards are similar to the ones used by our own Ifugaos, no?
Awesome pottery. It just amazes me how they were able to figure out making pottery from clay.
Those are lovely pieces of pottery. The cradleboard is very interesting. It must have allowed mothers to work while carrying their babies on their backs.
i thought those where slippers, yun pala pang control sa baby, cool!!!
