Michael Kanteena Mythical Bird Bowl Laguna Pottery
Michael Kanteena is mentioned in the authoritative book ``2000 Artist Biographies'' by Dr. Gregory Schaaf as follows:
Michael Kanteena describes his pottery on his business card as ``Contemporary & Pre-Columbian Recreations in Clay.'' We met him on two occasions and a found him to be a very personable young man. He expressed his sincere desire for his pottery to be accepted in a good way. His unique contribution is in his efforts to help revive ancient Pueblo pottery forms and styles. A growing circle of collectors are enthusiastic about his work.
Michel Kanteena is a Laguna potter who has been active in pottery making since about mid-nineties. His creations include black-on-white Anasazi revival jars, bowls, canteens, and figures.
The bowl pictured here recreates a Mimbres design, showing a long and menacing bek of a mythical bird. As in all his creations, Michael has painted the body of the bowl in black and light peach-brown with fine lines and geometric designs.
