Navajo Terracotta Grey and White Patterned 4” Vase signed S. King ‘00

authentic example of hand-etched and painted Native American Navajo pottery. Approximately 4” tall Sgraffito Technique: The design is created using an incised, hand-carved method where the artist etches away layers of the outer surface to reveal the contrasting terra cotta clay underneath. Visual Motifs: The upper band features a row of feather patterns, which are traditionally used in Navajo art to represent prayer, protection, and connection to the sacred. The lower band showcases geometric steps and triangular patterns. Textured Slips: The piece combines a speckled grey unglazed rim and base with contrasting white-and-black speckled slips over a natural orange terra cotta body. Elegant terracotta vase with white textured patterns. Handcrafted design adds rustic charm to any space. The white and terracotta colors create a warm, natural look. A versatile accent for shelves, tables, or mantels. Excellent condition with no breaks or chips (805723264)
