This is the first time many of these ollas have become available on the market for several decades. Up for auction is one such item, a very rare Pre-Columbian early polychrome effigy olla from Casas Grandes and dating to ca. 1100 AD. This olla is large, measuring an impressive 7 3/4 inches (19.7 cm) in height and 5 5/8 inches (14.3 cm) in diameter. The face, which faces outwards from the front of the olla, is finished in burnished red and displays the classic stylized expression so distinct to the Casas Grandes culture. Indisputably authentic dendrites on the vessel's posterior allow even amateur authenticators to establish its authenticity. While repaired, it has not been restored, and as evidenced from the photographs, this fine example of Pre-Columbioan pottery displays very well, and would make an excellent addition to any private or curatorial collection of Pre-Columbian or Native American pottery.
