Description

Native American Navajo Fine Etched Horsehair Pot with War Ponies by Venita Whitegoat

This pot is a classic shape for the Native American people and would have been used for storage. This piece is beautifully etched with classic Navajo symbols and the shoulder is etched with a band of war ponies. Horses enabled the People to travel further, faster and with less loss of energy so that hunting was more efficient and successful. These horses were painted with symbols to protect themselves and their rider from harm.
