Anasazi Canteen, Tularosa Style Replication

Description

The Anasazi Culture was composed of Ancestral Puebloans who frequented the desert and high country of prehistoric Southwestern America. Their legacy was a plethora of stone pueblo structures and ceramic pottery sherds that ranged from New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, to Utah. Still today, the countryside is scattered with black and white pottery sherds which speak to their prolific and artistic abilities. High in the White Mountains of Arizona, Starling Black Studio attempts to replicate the wonderful ceramic vessels once made by this extinct culture.  Our pottery pieces are made to appear as actual artifacts. You will not find smooth surfaces or symmetrical forms; small scratches and excoriations abound. The jars are handmade and painted with our homemade brushes and our propriety paints. Each olla, canteen, or jar is fumed, stained, and abraded. All are wood fired in a dirt pit which renders the surface with rich fire clouds and a smoky patina that can only be obtained from the use of these primitive processing techniques.  No two pieces are the same and none appear new or refined. If you love the raw and simple beauty of the prehistoric arts and have an appreciation for the archaic look of artifacts then I believe you will not be disappointed with " Anasazi Swirl Canteen" as our work reflects the beautiful art and the spirit of the Anasazi.
