Native American Navajo Bear Hand Crafted Pottery JX127373

Pot measures approximately 8-1/2" tall, 8" wide and is 19-7/8" 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 and incredible designs. This outstanding Native American Pot is hand etched and painted, by Navajo artist Marcus Nelson. The pot is signed by the artist.

In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper".
