Rustic Navajo Horse Hair Pottery Turtle 6.5" (3bc673)

This figurine is a high-quality piece of authentic Native American, Navajo pottery and 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 allows a permanent application of the horsehair to the object and yields the famous look that collectors appreciate.

Each piece is unique; no two are exactly alike. This hand etched turtle is perfect for any southwest style, western or cabin decor. It also makes a special gift.

Actual turtle is shown, measures approximately 4.25" wide, 6.5" long and 3.25" tall.

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