Native American Navajo Fine Etched Horsehair Pot with War Pony

This pot’s shape suggests it was used as a “smoke pot” for burning dried herbs to produce smoke or smudge for cleansing areas and people of evil spirits. It is etched with a single war pony, framed by traditional Navajo symbols, and painted in the colors of the desert sky at sunrise. Horses allowed the People to travel farther, faster, and with less energy loss, enhancing hunting efficiency and success. This pot is sure to be a focal point in any home. ^
