Horsehair Buffalo Statue by Navajo Potter Jessica Vail.

Etched & adorned with Turquoise Cabochon. 

The Vail's are a multi generation Pottery Family from New Mexico.  

Jessica learned from her father,  Tom Vail Jr. & his father Skeeter Vail. 

Approximately  3.5" tall. 6.5" wide. 

Each handcrafted pot starts from a raw casting. It is then painted and in some cases, etched with a pattern and then fired. Horse Hair is then arranged along the pot before fired again. The cindered remains of the hair form the web looking designs on the pot.
