Michael Kanteena is known for his pottery inspired by Chaco, Mesa Verde, and other Ancestral Pueblo pottery.  This jar has a classic form and design inspired by the pottery of Chaco Canyon. The jar has a bird wing pattern painted on the surface and highlighted with thin lines.  Michael creates a striking style for his pottery with contemporary forms yet giving them the appearance of the ancient.  Micheal will often use techniques, such as sandpaper, to give the surface and painting an “aged” appearance.  The piece is signed, “Michael Kanteena”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
