Cochiti Pueblo Canteen with Lizard and Turtle [SOLD]

This canteen sits so the spout is up at an angle to prevent water spillage from the neck.  On its back ride a lizard and a turtle, both heading toward the spout for a drink.  Traditional Cochiti Pueblo rain cloud symbols are painted on the surface. 

Condition:  The canteen is in original excellent condition.

Provenance: from the collection of Katherine H. Rust.  The canteen was probably a gift from the potter to Mrs. Rust from one of her many Pueblo friends which is a reason that it is not signed.
