#P-17 & #P-18. Navajo traditional pottery
by Lucinda Slick. The Navajo have been making this style of red-brown
pottery for several hundred years. It is hand-coiled and often
encircled with a filleted rim band that is left unclosed--an
opening or path (also seen in some bordered weavings and always
in ceremonial baskets). The pottery is fired outdoors in an open
pit, which imparts its unique coloration and characteristic "fire-clouds,"
and then sealed and made waterproof with pinyon pine resin. These
two pots are 5" high x 4-1/4" diameter. SOLD.
#P-19, #P-20, #P-21. Three traditional Navajo
pots by Lucinda Slick, 4" high x 3-1/4" diameter. Two
have embossed and incised designs of corn ears on each side;
the third has an embossed and incised design of a pinyon pine
spray and needles. Hand-coiled and open-pit fired. SOLD.
