New Mexican Navajo Pottery with Horsehair
I came across this pottery from Navajo Native Americans in New Mexico. These bowls were fired with a technique using the hair of horses to create beautiful designs. I like to fill them with salt, bath salts, jewelry, and other treasures.
The ancient Indian tribes made this pottery to honor a favorite horse or to celebrate the birth of a horse. It is said that this pottery was first created when a long-haired maiden was removing hot pottery from her kiln and the wind blew her hair onto the hot pot and burned the hair into the pottery. The pottery is poured, then fired for a period of time after which it is removed from the kiln, and hair from the mane and the tail of a horse are applied to the hot pottery. The hair creates the dark lines and the smoke from the burning hair creates the cloudy grey areas. The pottery is then returned to the kiln where firing is completed. The pottery is removed from the kiln, etched and spray-glazed. (kachinahouse.com)
