NAVAJO HAND ETCHED INDIAN POTTERY VASE 0254-PT
Navajo Indian Pottery.
An art lovers delight. It is amazing how they can sit there and hand etch these pots perfectly without any pre-planning or measuring tools. This is not a paint by numbers pot! This is truly top of the line Navajo pottery. This incredible pottery has been made from white ceramic clay. The clay was then soaked in water until it reached a workable consistency. The clay was then worked and hand coiled. The artist then hand etched traditional designs into the walls. The pot was then wood fired and masterfully painted by hand. It is 15" tall, 6-1/4" wide, 25" in circumference, with a 5-1/2" wide opening. Signed on the bottom by the Navajo Indian artist Largo.
The Dine' People are a unique group of people still living the traditional life with many oral stories passed down to the younger generation through the Dine' language. The Navajo people have returned to their original name given to them by their holy people. The Dine' land (aka Navajo reservation) on top of Oak Creek Canyon is the largest reservation established for the Dine', covering about 25,000 sq. miles of land, which is located in the Southwest in parts of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. The Dine' People believe they live within the Four Sacred Mountains.
