This coin would love to explore the world, but would especially like to spend some time in the Southwest, where Mimbres Pottery was prevelent from 1000 - 1150 A.D.
History of Mimbres Pottery:
The Mimbres occupied the somewhat isolated mountain and river valleys of southwestern New Mexico from about 1000 to 1250 AD. Recognized as part of a larger group known as the Mogollon, the Mimbres were concentrated around the Mimbres River, named by early Spanish settlers for the abundance of mimbres or small willows found along its banks. The name Mimbres, or Mimbrenos, was adopted as the official name of the culture at the turn of the century. Known primarily for their exquisite painted pottery, the Mimbres culture is of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, as well as art historians and collectors.
