Paquimé, better known as Casas Grandes, was a major cultural and trade center in the northwestern region of today’s Chihuahua state for hundreds of years before the arrival of the Spanish in northern Mexico. Culturally affiliated in many ways to Mesoamerica to the south, Casa Grandes acted as an intermediary between Central American peoples and the Mogollon and Hohokam peoples to the north.Its area of influence reached from central New Mexico in the north to central Chihuahua in the south. Its peak of development occurred in the 13th and 14th centuries. Trade items included shells, copper, pottery, and macaws. The ruins of Paquimé include more than 2000 rooms, indicating the importance of this settlement.Casas Grandes is known for its remarkable pottery. Today, residents of the neighboring village of Mata Ortiz create pottery inspired by Casas Grandes work, and this pottery is in high demand. (Source: university of Texas at El Paso). Oscar B Jacobson Estate CollectionJacobson Provenance My grandparents were Oscar Brousse Jacobson and Sophie Jacobson.As founder and first Director of the School of Art at the University of Oklahoma, Oscar Jacobson devoted significant time and energy in support of Native American arts and artists. He taught, nurtured and developed the group of young Native American artists known as the Kiowa Six, among many others. In honor of those efforts nationwide and internationally, the Kiowas honored Jacobson by making him honorary chief of the Kiowa Tribe on July 26th 1928. The tribe presented him with Regalia made for him for that ceremony. Before he died, my grandfather gifted that Regalia to me. In addition to that regalia, both of the Jacobsons collected a variety of Native American items. Some of these items were given to me directly by each of them, some I inherited upon the death of each of them, and the remainder I from my mother, Yolande Jacobson Sheppard upon her death. All of the items have been in possession of the Jacobson and Sheppard families continuously. Sim C. Sheppard January 2024 240112-002 Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc.
