This striking Native American Navajo pottery vase features a smooth black finish accented by a wide, textured central band of sgraffito carving. The deeply incised section reveals a lighter gray clay body beneath, meticulously detailed with traditional geometric motifs, kiva steps, and stylized feathers, all framed by vibrant turquoise painted bands. The unpolished underside is hand-incised with the maker's signature, "Tsosie Navajo." The piece remains in good overall display condition, exhibiting minor surface scuffs to the black finish and light wear around the bottom resting edge. The vase measures approximately 11.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches in diameter at the base. See photos for full details.
