Hand Painted Navajo Horsehair Etched Pottery Bear (3bc788)

This charming fetish bear is a high-quality piece of authentic Native American pottery. The Indian potter uses real horsehair during the firing process to create this rustic vase.

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 allows a permanent application of the horsehair to the pot and yields the famous look that everyone loves. Each piece is unique; no two are exactly alike.

This bear is perfect for any southwest style, western decor or cabin. It also makes a special gift.

Actual bear is shown, measures approximately 5.75" tall, 9" wide.

Authentic Native American, Tribe: Navajo, Artist: Shelly W.
