Offered in this lot we have a signed Navajo Native American hand painted pottery vase. The vase shows wonderful hand turned shape with hand painted and etched designs across the surface of the piece. The painted designs show the image of a teepee with small clusters of trees to each side along with seven horizontal going across the piece at varying levels.
