Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit February 17-19, 2016 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 5”): This is a bird canteen that may be a duck or a chicken. The design includes the wings of the bird. There may have been a handle at one point. Or it is possible that instead of a handle a leather or type of string was used to tie the tail and the head to create a handle. There are pathway breaks on the base.
