Miniature Native American Pueblo Pottery Canteen, Old green marble eyes It would be great year

It would be great year round on the counter

These wooden animals--dogs

and I'd think

with ceramic yellow-glazed beads interspersed

There is some dust buried in the crevices

Miniature Native American Pueblo Pottery Canteen, Old green marble eyes It would be great yearI am not at all expert on Native American pottery, but I do believe this little piece is quite old indeed it feels ancient and quite beautiful, with a presence that far outweighs its size. The form is that of a canteen, with the top opening made to hold a plug, and the lug handles on the sides I think made to be strung in order to wear it. Definitely it is Southwest Pueblo, and based on the patterns I think possibly Hopi, but I am not certain on that.
