THIS IS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL MYSTERY BOX PLANTING DAY 2006

The Mimbres people were prehistoric Native Americans who lived from around A.D. 200 to 1350 in what is now southwestern New Mexico. Mimbres pottery is the most famous artifact of the Mimbres culture. Pottery was made in plain and corrugated brown clay, polychrome, black and red, and the famous black and white. The black and white pottery usually depicted animals encountered in daily life, daily routines, or geometric designs. Cranes, turkeys, fish, mosquitoes or hummingbirds, small mammals, and humans often grace Mimbres pottery. The expertise of the Mimbres potters is considered superior to that of any other Native American potters.
