Miniature Native American Pueblo Pottery Canteen, Old green marble eyes and then the wonderful rich

and then the wonderful rich dark charcoal black of the carved body with rounded belly

with ceramic yellow-glazed beads interspersed

Miniature Native American Pueblo Pottery Canteen, Old green marble eyes and then the wonderful richI 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.
