Mimbres Black-on-white ceramics were produced in the Mimbres region of southern New Mexico from A.D. 900 until 1150.  They are characterized by their fine design execution and highly stylized naturalistic representations of animals and humans.  Along with Chupadero Black-on-white, they are some of the most widely distributed ceramics throughout the Trans-Pecos and New Mexico.  This jar belongs to the collection of the El Paso Museum of Archaeology.  Photo by Susan Dial.
