Native American Pine Pitch Medicine Bowl Pottery Signed by Lameman

Genuine Native American Navajo Indian Hand Coiled and Hand Etched Clay Pottery from Northern New Mexico. This Stunning piece of Pottery is beautifully Hand Coiled and Hand Made to perfection! Navajo Pottery was traditionally used in cooking. When used for water storage, the pot was covered with pine pitch so it would remain waterproof, thus the distinctive varnish found on the inside of this piece. These pots are often referred to as a Medicine Bowl used for ceremonial purposes. The etchings on the bowl are of a Yei which is a stylized figure of a Navajo Deity adapted from the sandpainting designs of the religious healing ceremonies. Handmade by Arnold Lameman. Signed on the bottom. Free shipping included!
