| Description:
|
This canteen exhibits
the typical bulbous shaped belly, two |
| |
loops for a carrying strap and a single small spout. It is
decorated mostly with geometric devices composed of lines and dots on
the flatter side, as well as leaf images, visible on the sides. The
forms are painted in black and ochre against a dark gray background of
the slip. The underside is ochre. |

|
| JMBG Notes: |
Although as yet we have not found this
style of decoration on |
| |
any other pottery, the resemblance appears to be closest to
Cochiti, hence our provisional classification. At the same time, it is
also somewhat reminiscent of Santo Domingo decorative devices, which
should not be surprising, considering the close proximity of these two
neighboring centers. |
