Anasazi mugs.
Original caption
: "
Prehistoric mugs with handles are found only in the immediate area of the Four Corners, especially in Southwest Colorado.
"
The mugs are almost always black-on-white, and date between AD 1000 and 1280. Note the T-shaped cut-out designs on the left two mugs' handles. Ancestral Puebloan doorways often have this same shape, but its meaning is unknown. Some mugs have false bottoms with clay beads inside-- perhaps these noisemakers called attention to an empty mug during feasts. |
