This is an elongated canteen by Robert Tenorio. It is a creative shape to create.  The piece is coil-built and the canteen is elongated and round. The spout is at one end.  One side has a Big Horn Sheep and the other a deer.  They are surrounded by flowers.  The piece was slipped with white clay and then painted with wild spinach (black) and red clay to accent the designs. The piece was then traditionally fired.  After the firing, there was a leather “handle” attached to the back of the piece.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Robert Tenorio, Kewa”.  It was made in 1990s.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
