Label TextAncient Southwest people used ceramics as jars and vessels, but they also made small effigies of humans and animals such as this coyote’s head. The coyote’s eyes have a comical expression. They are very close together and the incised spiraling lines that detail them give the impression of being decidedly unfocussed.ProvenanceJonathan Holstein (A130), Cazenovia, New York
