http://www.toh-atin.com/taxonomy/term/170/0 A coating of a combination of piñon and pine pitch is used on Navajo pottery, which makes it distinct from other pueblo and Southwestern pottery. This pitch was traditionally used to seal the pots for carrying water and food. The application technique of the pitch affects the color, which ranges from dark brown to golden brown. A pitch pot is made by dipping a rag-covered stick into boiling pine pitch and painting this pitch all over the pot so that it holds water and has a lovely glossy finish. Some pottery shapes are covered with deerhide for use by medicine men as drums in healing ceremonies. Navajo potters also use the coil method, and sometimes the coils are left visible. en http://www.toh-atin.com/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-5 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-16"><div class="form-item"> <label>Inventory Number: </label> POTJB7-5 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-image-12"><div class="form-item"> <label>Primary image: </label> <a href="/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-5"><img alt="Johnson/Begay Pot, POTJB7-5" src="http://www.toh-atin.com/system/files/potjb7-5-160_th.jpg" /></a> </div> </div></div><p><a href="http://www.toh-atin.com/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-5">read more</a></p> Navajo Pottery In Stock Johnson/Begay Navajo Tribe $100-$499 Clay Sun, 16 Nov 2008 13:38:02 -0500 linda 3299 at http://www.toh-atin.com http://www.toh-atin.com/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-3 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-16"><div class="form-item"> <label>Inventory Number: </label> POTJB7-3 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-image-12"><div class="form-item"> <label>Primary image: </label> <a href="/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-3"><img alt="Johnson/Begay Pot, POTJB7-3" src="http://www.toh-atin.com/system/files/potjb7-3-360_th.jpg" /></a> </div> </div></div><p><a href="http://www.toh-atin.com/items/johnson-begay-pot-potjb7-3">read more</a></p> Navajo Pottery In Stock Johnson/Begay Landscape Navajo Tribe $100-$499 Clay Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:02:45 -0400 linda 3167 at http://www.toh-atin.com http://www.toh-atin.com/items/navajo-pottery-potjb7-1 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-16"><div class="form-item"> <label>Inventory Number: </label> POTJB7-1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-image-12"><div class="form-item"> <label>Primary image: </label> <a href="/items/navajo-pottery-potjb7-1"><img alt="Navajo Pottery, POTJB7-1" src="http://www.toh-atin.com/system/files/potjb7-1-450_th.jpg" /></a> </div> </div></div><p><a href="http://www.toh-atin.com/items/navajo-pottery-potjb7-1">read more</a></p> Navajo Pottery In Stock Johnson/Begay Navajo Tribe Wedding Vase $100-$499 Clay Mon, 19 May 2008 19:19:13 -0400 linda 2815 at http://www.toh-atin.com http://www.toh-atin.com/items/pitch-pot-potmw2-1 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-16"><div class="form-item"> <label>Inventory Number: </label> POTMW2-1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-image-12"><div class="form-item"> <label>Primary image: </label> <a href="/items/pitch-pot-potmw2-1"><img alt="Pitch Pot, POTMW2-1" src="http://www.toh-atin.com/system/files/potmw2_1%24360_th.jpg" /></a> </div> </div></div><p><a href="http://www.toh-atin.com/items/pitch-pot-potmw2-1">read more</a></p> Navajo Pottery Navajo Tribe Williams, Michelle $100-$499 Clay Tue, 17 Oct 2006 19:28:43 -0400 kklink 654 at http://www.toh-atin.com http://www.toh-atin.com/items/navajo-wedding-vase-potls1-1 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-3"><div class="flexinode-textfield-16"><div class="form-item"> <label>Inventory Number: </label> POTLS1-1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-image-12"><div class="form-item"> <label>Primary image: </label> <a href="/items/navajo-wedding-vase-potls1-1"><img alt="Navajo Wedding Vase, POTLS1-1" src="http://www.toh-atin.com/system/files/potls1_1_th.jpg" /></a> </div> </div></div><p><a href="http://www.toh-atin.com/items/navajo-wedding-vase-potls1-1">read more</a></p> Navajo Pottery Lorenzo, Spencer Navajo Tribe Wedding Vase $100-$499 Clay Tue, 17 Oct 2006 19:27:01 -0400 kklink 653 at http://www.toh-atin.com
