Native American pottery

This beautiful piece of pottery was made by the famous Navajo artist, Cecelia Benally. The reason why I chose this piece of art is because it is so different. When someone thinks of Native American artwork, they think of simple colors such as brown or tan. This art work is full of color and is bright. I also enjoy how the middle of the art looks like a dreamcatcher. The artist shared that it was made using horse hair. The horse hair burns when it touches the hot pottery leaving a light stain cooked into it, making a beautiful and unique one of a kind pattern on each piece.
