Native American Navajo Handbuilt Pitch Pot with Horned Toad and Corn

Description

Native American Navajo Handbuilt Pitch Pot with Horned Toad and Corn by Larrisena Manygoats

This sweet pot with a little horned toad crawling on the outside and a stalk of corn was handbuilt by Navajo potter Larrisena Manygoats, granddaughter of master potter Betty Manygoats. The horned toad represents Grandfather, health and strength. The corn is a staple of the Native American life. This traditional piece was waterproofed by dipping the just-fired hot pottery in hot pine pitch. We are grateful to have traditional Navajo handbuilt pottery in our shop. This bowl CANNOT hold liquid.
