Nora Naranjo-Morse is known for creative clay figures and sculptural work. This is a canteen that is made from micaceous clay. The front is carved and then inset with a piece of spiraling silver with turquoise insets at the end.  There is a sliver stopper. The piece has a leather strap at the handles.  It is signed near the back handle, “Nora”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.

“There is no word for art in the Tewa language … There is though the concept for an artful life, filled with inspiration and fueled by labor and thoughtful approach.” Nora Naranjo-Morse
