Text-modey design from Iraq, 6000 years ago. From When Writing Met Art (p.17).

Ancient “native American” pottery-head text-mode style. White Mountain Redware, made between year 1000 and 1500. All pics from rarepottery.info.

Made 800 years ago by the Pueblo peoples. The style has been called Mesa Verde Black-on-White, and Snowflake Black-on-White (not sure if it’s the same thing?).
