Jean Sahme Nampeyo Pottery C3903GJean has a very artistic style of creating designs on pottery. She does not hesitate to select parts of traditional Sikyatki design elements and to arrange them in a most artistic and pleasing manner. The designs she chose for this jar are selections from Sikyatki pottery and appear to be bird-like in form with an insect added as a surprise element. Her arrangement of the design in a non-structured pattern provides for interesting viewing. The canteen is decorated on front.  It is provided with a twisted rawhide strap for use in hanging.  It sits upright in a secure manner.  It is signed J. Sahme Nampeyo.
