The ancient Indian tribes made this pottery to honor a favorite horse or to celebrate the birth of a horse. This pottery is very time-consuming and hazardous to create. The pottery is poured, fired for a period of time after which it is removed from the kiln, hair from the mane and the tail of a horse are placed on the pottery. The hair creates the dark lines and the smoke from the burning hair creates the darker grey areas. The pottery is then returned to the kiln where it finishes firing. When the firing is complete, the pottery is removed from the kiln, spray-glazed and etched. Each piece of pottery comes with a certificate of authenticity. This certifies that the pottery has been handcrafted by a Native American Indian artist and identified by a tribal census number. This horsehair pottery is created by New Mexico resident and Master Navajo Artist Tom Vail and his family.
Photos are examples ONLY. Each piece is handfinished and etching WILL BE DIFFERENT from that shown.

Horsehair Pottery Eagles

The Humpback Flute Player (Kokopelli) is an engaging image that originated in the ancient Anasazi culture, and was brought into the present by the Pueblo Indians. This classic figure of a bent over stick figure playing a flute has been associated with shamanism and supernatural qualities. He is a magical being who, by playing his flute, calls the clouds to make rain. Today, the Hopi play flutes over the springs to attract rain. Kokopelli is also a symbol for fertility because he carries seeds and mist in his hump. He is mischievous when it comes to seducing young maidens! The Navajo counterpart to Kokopelli is the Humpback God who wears mountain sheep horns. His hump, which has eagle feathers radiating from it, contains seeds and mist also. He carries a wand and is called the God of Mist, God of Plenty or the God of the Harvest. He is nearly always portrayed with an image of corn. It is interesting to note that the hump, an abnormality, or deformity, is considered special, even magical and transformative like fantastic creatures, such as unicorns, griffins, etc. Shamans are often deformed or have at some point narrowly escaped physical death.
