Description |
The stark, controlled lines and limited palette of
Casas Grandes pots such as this make them
immensely appealing to the modern eye. Are
they the product of a simple, primitive society or
an extremely sophisticated one? Clearly, pure
geometry is not the aim--there are deeper
meanings in such vessels than the eye first
perceives.
