Polychrome Canteen (#70)
Margaret Gutierrez (b.1936) and Luther Gutierrez (1911–1987)— Santa Clara Pueblo

This classic shaped canteen is made extra potent by decorating it with the Avanyu (water serpent). In Santa Clara oral tradition, the Avanyu protects water sources as well as guides people to them.
