Hand Etched Navajo Horse Hair Box -Turtle (3bc69)

This 2 piece horsehair figurine is a high quality piece of authentic Native American, Navajo pottery. The shell is a lift off lid. This unique piece of Navajo horse hair pottery uses real horse hair during the firing process to decorate the rustic figure.

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 pottery and yields the famous look that everyone loves.

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

Actual piece is shown, measures approximately 7" long, 4.25" wide.

Authentic Native American, Tribe: Navajo, Artist: Tom Vail Jr.
