This Antelope design exemplifies the complex mirror imagery technique perfected by some Mimbres artists.	The bowl we used as our model is a classic black-on-white, measuring about 7" across by 3" deep. Discovered at New Mexico's Galaz site, it is now at the University of Minnesota, Department of Anthropology, Minneapolis, Minnesota.	Rabbits are depicted on many Mimbres bowls, and no two are the same. Our model Rabbit bowl, found at Swartz ruin in New Mexico, is part of the Peabody Museum collection
