Navajo Polychrome Canteen w/ Rabbit, Cecelia Mckelvey

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Cecelia Lucy Leuppe "Rainbow Girl" Mckelvey (Navajo, active in 20th-21st century). Pottery canteen with hare, n.d. Signed "Cecelia Mckelvey / Bluff, Utha [sp]" on verso. A charming pottery canteen of rotund form hand-painted with the abstract image of a rabbit facing right. The animal displays long ears, an arching back, and a stomach adorned with nested steppe motifs, while additional step motif designs embellish the periphery below. A pair of rectangular handles flank the swollen body of the vessel, which narrows at the top to a petite mouth. A slender leather strap is tied to the handles, allowing for easy suspension. Size: 3" L x 5.6" W x 4.7" H (7.6 cm x 14.2 cm x 11.9 cm)

Artist Statement: "Basically, I am a self-taught potter that has spent over fifty years experimenting with all kinds of found and home refined materials to create my pottery art using these materials. They are all hand coiled and painted using these natural found clays and tempers, polishing slips and paints (the black paint coming from hematite rock ground on a stone pallet and mixed with a type of dried molasses made from bee plant juice). The pots are all stone polished and fired outside using juniper wood and sheep dung."
