Men hunt and women gather?
MESA VERDE "DUCK HUNT" REPLICA BOWL. 8.25" WIDE 4" TALL This bowl was made after a bowl residing in the museum at Mesa Verde National Park. The painting depicts a duck hunt with 2 figures, one with a bow and arrow and the other with a duck call. Pots representing scenes from every day life are rare in the Four Corners region unlike the mimbres pottery further south. This bowl has striking black on white contrast. Kelly Magleby made this duck bowl and she is a master at primitive arts pottery. She writes: All of my ceramics are made using ancient building techniques and sustainably harvested materials. The process includes; hand-building using wild gathered clay, painting using a yucca leaf brush, using plant based or natural mineral based paints, and wood firing in a trench kiln or surface fire. Each pot is unique in form and character, and embodies its own story. She is a big fan of primitive skills gatherings like Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) where she teaches primitive pottery skills, like the ones she showcases in this video.
