9" Etched Horse Hair Pottery Bear -Navajo (36bc666)

This horsehair bear figurine is a high-quality piece of authentic Native American, Navajo pottery. The artist uses real horsehair during the firing process to decorate the rustic figure.

The artist throws the pieces of horsehair onto the pottery, at just the right time, causing it to stick and melt into the piece. This causes a permanent application of the horsehair to the object and yields the famous look that collectors appreciate.

This hand etched bear would be perfect for any southwest style, western décor or cabin. It would also make a special gift. Each piece is unique, no two are exactly alike. 

Actual bear is shown, measures approximately 9.75" long, 5.5" tall.

Authentic Native American, Tribe: Navajo, Artist: Geri Vail
