A beautiful example of the vintage Navajo sand painted pottery distributed by Sunwest Indian Art, Ltd. of New Mexico in the 80s & 90s.

This style of vintage southwestern pottery has a small representation online with few examples comparable in size or surface design. Form is slip cast and lighter weight. This is a decorative piece and not designed for functional use (i.e. holding water, food, etc.). Please protect it from the elements and direct sunlight. Additionally as a painted bisque piece, the surface & interior do not have the durability of a glazed ceramic piece (i.e. vulnerable to scratching, staining, water damage, etc.). The ceramic body is not impervious. Avoid water. Gently clean/dust with a soft/med synthetic bristle brush on the outside sand surface & with a damp cloth on the inside. Dry Potpourri/Or For Those Who Know About Medicine, Cedar, Sage, Or Sweet Grass Can Be A Good Use For This Beautiful Artistic Work. Tobacco Down! Smoke Goes Up, Blessings Come Down. Bless You And Yours! BX4RW
