This is a contemporary piece of Navajo (Diné) pottery, characterized by its hand-etched (sgraffito) designs and dark, earthy slip. The jar features intricate geometric patterns and traditional motifs expertly carved through the surface layer to reveal the contrasting natural clay underneath. The piece consists of a beautifully rounded bowl and a perfectly fitted matching lid, both showcasing a sophisticated palette of turquoise, white, and deep terracotta tones. The signature on the bottom identifies the artist as Lewis Dineh, a respected name in modern Diné ceramics. Whether displayed as a standalone art piece or used to hold small treasures, this jar is a testament to the enduring artistry and cultural heritage of the Navajo people.
Authentic Artistry: 100% handmade and authentic Native American art. The sgraffito technique requires immense precision and patience, resulting in a unique, one-of-a-kind texture.
Earthy Finish: Finished with a traditional dark slip that highlights the natural beauty of the Southwest landscape.
Signed Piece: Clearly marked by the artist on the underside for provenance and collectability.
Condition: Excellent contemporary condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Please see all photos for close-up details of the etched work and artist signature.
