This contemporary Native American Navajo sgraffito pottery vessel features a bulbous seed pot form with a narrow, gently flared neck. The exterior is intricately hand-carved with a continuous band of geometric patterns, stylized feathers, and wave motifs, revealing soft pastel gradients of peach, pink, and teal blue beneath the smooth matte surface. The underside is hand-incised with the maker's signature "Y.W. (Navajo)", with another faint, crossed-out mark just below it. The piece appears in very good display condition, showing only minor handling wear typical of its age and production style. The vessel measures approximately 5 inches tall and 5 inches wide at its widest point. See photos for full details.
