Navajo Horsehair and Metallic Pot



Navajo Horsehair and Metallic Pot
from smithsonian
6"h. x 8"dia.

Dina Willie of New Mexico’s Navajo pueblo creates this one-of-a-kind ceramic pottery. Genuine horsehair is placed on the mold-shaped and kiln-heated to create intricate designs. Hair from the mane makes finer lines; hair from the tail makes thicker lines. Next the pot is hand etched and painted with metallic pigments.
