Native American Navajo Hand Crafted Dreamcatcher Bear Pottery JX125913

Pot measures approximately 5" tall, 4-1/4" wide and is 13" in circumference (around its widest point).

This beautiful style of Navajo art is called horse hair pottery because actual horse hair is added to the pottery at just the right moment in the firing process to melt the hairs into the pottery, creating unique, incredible bear and dream catcher designs. It is believed that each gently woven web will catch your bad dreams in the night. The bad spirit dreams will get caught in the web and disappear with the morning sun. In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper". This outstanding Native American Pot is hand etched and painted, by Navajo artist Carol Johnson. The pot is signed by the artist.
