Traditional Navajo pottery was heavy and very plain, made primarily for temporary use in water and food storage. In the last several decades, the Navajo have mastered and created a beautiful tradition in artistic pottery. Using the basics of the early pieces and improving the shape, thickness, and firing methods, the Navajo still use the pine pitch to create a beautiful dark brown pottery with smoky whorls of black and red. Other Navajo innovators have adapted the thick walled pitch covered vessel by painting them with traditional religious images and earth symbols creating unique and beautiful forms of art. This is a fabulous piece and is being sold with NO RESERVE!!!!!!
