Panana, Ruby – Canteen with Zia Hummingbird and Rain Clouds

Ruby Panana began making pottery in 1983.  She is a granddaughter of Joe and Ascenicona Galvan Pino and a daughter of Seferina Bell.  Her sisters Eleanor Griego and Reyes Pino are also potters.  This canteen is a classic shape with a flat front.  It is painted with a Zia hummingbird surrounded by clouds.  The back is polished red. It is signed on the bottom, “Ruby Panana”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
