Mimbres Canteen Necklace
Item: JV-002-MIM

This necklace  features a hand painted mimbres design on each side of the canteen..

From around 200 A.D. to about 1150 A.D. a group of farmers lived along the banks of the Mimbres river in southwestern New Mexico. Near the end of this time around 1000 to 1100 A.D. they began to make the beautiful black and white design pottery which they are known for. This pottery is distinctive in its intricate geometric designs with fine lines and stylized figures of animals, humans and bugs. After about 1150 A.D. their villages were abandoned and no more of their pottery is found.

Size:  1.75 inch diameter  2.5 inches tall including stopper.  On an adjustable leather cord adjustable from 18 inches to about 30 inches.
