Claudia Mitchell Bird Canteen

Handmade by Acoma artist Claudia Mitchell, this canteen is a beautiful representation of the traditional bird designs. Claudia is the grandaughter of the famed Acoma potter Lucy M. Lewis, and daughter of the late Emma Lewis. Lucy Lewis was the driving force behind the revival of pottery-making as an art in Acoma Pueblo. The Lewis family keeps the same patterns, and does not move to a contemporary style because it is very important to them to keep the true traditions and designs of the ancient Mimbres people alive.

Constructed by hand using all natural materials, the vessel features modern interpretations of traditional designs and symbols. With its traditional designs and historical connection, this one-of-a-kind canteen will be a significant and inspiring addition to your fine art collection.

Canteen measures 4-3/4" long and 5-1/4" wide, stands 5" tall. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
