This is an extraordinarily large canteen from Zia Pueblo, created most probably in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This fine piece is coil-formed in native clay with the addition of crushed basaltic temper. The underbody is stone-polished red-slipped paste in a warm brick red color. A very wide red band is wiped on as a dividing line between the underbody and the decorated upper body, and it encompasses both handles and the spout.
