Navajo Horsehair Colorband Pottery Turtle (3bc602)

This high quality horsehair pottery turtle is the authentic art of the Navajo Indians.

It contains real horse hair that the artists place 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 creates the exquisite famous look that everyone loves.

This piece also features hand etching to create intriguing patterns; no two are exactly alike. This is perfect for any southwest style, western décor or cabin and makes a great gift.

Measures approximately 4" long, 3.25" tall.

Authentic Native American, Tribe: Navajo, Artist: Sylvia Johnson
