    From a Major Southwest Auction House
    LARGE  EARLY
    RARE  SIKYATKI  DESIGN
    POLYCHROME  BOWL
    Perhaps Transition Phase to San Bernardo
    Early
    Sikyatki Shape
    w/
    Rare
    Polychrome Migration Design.
    Dimensions:
    Approximate width is 9 inches
    and the bowl is 5-3/4 inches high
    .
    This remarkable rare old bowl bears the Sikyatki style shape and Migration Design
    that Nampeyo of Hano later emulated on many of her classic works.
    We are also including this with later post 1800 works
    on the outside chance it is a replica made in the late 1800's.
    This Rare Pottery Bowl
    is Museum Grade - and may have
    been actually acquired from one.
    A Highly CollectibleGem !

    INFO :
    An examination using a store bought Blacklight revealed
    the rim white plaster patches showed florescence. The rest
    of the exterior and interior remained dark without detectable florescence.

    INFO :
    An examination of the paint using a Q-tip
    soaked with ACETONE ( Nail Polish Remover ) rubbed forcefully
    on the black and red paint did NOT remove either paint.
    Both the exact shape, & specific design elements, are consistent
    with other pottery bowls from the antiquities market generally accepted
    as attributed to "Anasazi" people. Priced accordingly.
