Vintage Navajo Hopi Pottery Vase
This Vintage Navajo Hopi Pottery Vase by Nathan Begaye is a unique piece of art, by any standard! Hand built, it features a stylized warrior, who is accented with four arrows and a bow. The hand painted graphics achieve a balance and earthy elegance that is visually pleasing to the eye. The simplicity of the figure is emphasized by the intricate details of the traditional pueblo graphics. A genuine Turquoise stone is set in the middle of a tadpole inside the spout. In good condition with some paint loss, it's 5" wide and about 6-1/2" tall and is signed and dated 5/5/83. This Vintage Navajo Hopi Pottery Vase is one of a kind!
Nathan (1958-2010) was both Navajo and Hopi, and drew from these cultures to create his impressive style. He is referenced in Schaaf's "Hopi-Tewa Pottery 500 Biographies" and was featured in numerous books, including "Free Spirit: The New Native American Indian Potter", "Beyond Traditions" and others. His pottery can also be found in the permanent collection of the Heard and other museums.
