Description

Native American Navajo Fine Etched Horsehair Pot with Turtle by Hilda Whitegoat

This beautiful traditional pot has a turtle as the focal point, surrounded with traditional etching. 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.
