TRADITIONAL NAVAJO VASE possibly by Arnold Spencer, ca. 1976 Condition: Excellent. Mark: Lightly scratched "S 11 76" Description: Very thin-walled, hard and shiny. Rim pinched to four lobes with "V" fillets on opposite sides. Pine pitch on rough clay body. Probably a "pinch pot"' formed with thumbs rather than coiled. Note: Assumed to be from Cow Springs, Arizona. See: Southwestern Pottery by Allan Hayes, pages 100 & 101; it appears very similar in color, thinness and experimentation to Arnold Spencer's pot in front row, second from left, but that pot was marked heavily with name. (2) The Museum of the Southwest, in Flagstaff, says that Navajo applique band is called "biyo", which means "necklace." The break in the band is called "atiin," which means "the way out." 3.75"h x 3.25"d.
