Ancient Native Anasazi Canteen Two Handle Clay Coil Pot (Circa - 800-1200 AD)

Description

Here is a very unique and extremely rare Ancient Native American Pueblo Anasazi Canteen from the Province of Tusayan. This piece has been researched and approved by two Native American Collectives Museum's here in Southern Utah. Its circulation dates back between 800 - 1200 AD and these museum's expressed this to be absolutely in MINT condition from the ones they have had in their collection. They told me that the selling price range for this item ranges between 0 to 00 depending on size and condition. These pots are extremely RARE to come by and most end up in Museums.
Here is info I gathered  researching this style of  clay making and this pot by Anasazi pueblo tribes and colonies of the South West region of US.
Anasazi pottery was formed from clay using a method called coil and scrape which is still in use today by the Anasazi's descendants the Pueblo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. Pots were then painted with white clay and decorated with geometric designs.Coiling is a method of creating pottery. It has been used to shape clay into vessels for many thousands of years. It is found across the cultures of the world, including Africa, Greece, China, and Native American cultures of New Mexico. Using the coiling technique, it is possible to build thicker or taller walled vessels, which may not have been possible using earlier methods. The technique permits control of the walls as they are built up and allows building on top of the walls to make the vessel look bigger and bulge outward or narrow inward with less danger of collapsing. To do this, the potter takes a pliable material (usually clay) then rolls it until it forms a coil, or long pliable cylinder. By placing one coil on top of another, different shapes can be formed. As this is done while the clay is still fresh and soft, individual coils can be joined seamlessly with simple pressure, rather than by scoring and/or applying slip to the surface. Optionally, coils may only be joined internally or externally, leaving them visible on the other side as an aesthetic choice. Initially, handbuilt vessels were made solely for utilitarian purposes, with little consideration for artistry. Most very early containers were unadorned, except for the texture of the coils and pinches, or indented textures from pointed sticks. Not much attention was paid to symmetry. “Pueblo pottery is made using a coiled technique that came into northern Arizona and New Mexico from the south, some 1500 years ago. In the four-corners region of the US, nineteen pueblos and villages have historically produced pottery. Although each of these pueblos use similar traditional methods of coiling, shaping, finishing and firing, the pottery from each is distinctive. Various clay's gathered from each pueblo’s local sources produce pottery colors that range from buff to earthy yellows, oranges, and reds, as well as black. Fired pots are sometimes left plain and other times decorated—most frequently with paint and occasionally with applique. Painted designs vary from pueblo to pueblo, yet share an ancient iconography based on abstract representations of clouds, rain, feathers, birds, plants, animals and other natural world features.
