Native American Navajo Made Ceramic Horsehair Burled Pot with Turtles

This beautiful pot is etched all around the opening with a band of turtles with the symbol for the four directions etched into their backs. The turtle is a symbol for longevity and for water, a scarce resource in the desert southwest. It is believed by many Native Americans that we are living on the back of a turtle. This wonderful piece will be a fine addition to any home.
