Here, two hunters set aside their bows and arrows, and one removes his woven sandals. The other props a makeshift ladder against a tree, allowing the barefoot man to ascend. Above, a bird—likely an eagle—has just delivered a lizard to its two chicks. Might these two men
be the mythic twins identified on other Mimbres bowls? In the same region during a later period, the Pueblo gathered eaglets for use in an initiation rite—the Mimbres may have had a similar practice.","remarks":"AAA_Mimbres_NM 2018_WC7.pdf "},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"1/4/10 Atlantic Art Partners II, LLC (SH3069). acquired from below; Dennis Lyon, Phoenix, AZ.
