Canteen with a Katsina-like Face

Cleveland Museum of Art

The work of art 'Canteen with a Katsina-like Face' by Nampeyo features a canteen with a distinctive Katsina-like face painted on it. The canteen itself is rounded with two small handles on either side and a short neck. The face depicted on the canteen has a square shape with a triangular nose and mouth, and is adorned with black lines and patterns. The background of the canteen is a light brown color, contrasting with the darker brown and black painted designs. The overall design and color scheme are characteristic of Pueblo pottery.
