Navajo Hummingbird

Green Valley, AZ

Carved into a vase I bought in Navajo Land.

I was trying various artistic effects, including different crops and backgrounds, but ended up with this - a pretty much straightforward photo.

Paul -- this is a handmade pottery vase. After it was formed, the artist hand etched/carved the decorations, and followed it with a painting.
This artist is fairly unique, as he paints the vases to look like wood.

I agree - amazing work.

It always amazes me how someone can take a plain board and have the vision and talent to turn it into detailed work of art. Paul.

Thanks.
We have become fans of both Native American pottery and Mexican Mata Ortiz pottery.
