Hand Painted Southwest Pottery Bear 12x8" -Navajo (p183)

This is a high quality piece of authentic Native American, Navajo pottery, hand etched and accented with genuine turquoise stones. This unique piece of Indian pottery uses real horse hair during the firing process to create this rustic vase. The artist throws the pieces of horse hair onto the pottery at just the right time to cause it to stick and melt into the piece.

This causes a permanent application of the horse hair to the pot and yields the famous look that everyone loves. Each piece is unique, no two are exactly alike.

The Navajo Indians believe the bear to be a symbol of strength. This piece would be perfect for any southwest style, western decor or cabin. It would also make a great special gift. Actual piece is shown, measures 8" tall, 12" wide.
