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 effigy pottery pictured here is a recreation of a Mimbres design, showing a long-necked bird, its tail and a round body decorated with geometric elements.
