$ 800.00

Tim Edaakie and Bobby Silas worked together on their pottery. Tim was Zuni while Bobby is Hopi and their pottery was created to envision historic pottery shapes and designs.  Sadly, Tim passed away in 2020.  This canteen is a classic flat shape with the design painted on the front.  It is a star design with swirling red rainbirds and black prayer feathers. It is very delicately painted and a traditional hand-woven strap. All the various colors are from natural clay slips.  It is signed on the bottom, “Edaakie/Silas, 2016”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
