The surface is further enhanced with intricate sgraffito etching, featuring geometric motifs and a bear paw symbol, representing strength and protection in Diné culture.
The base is signed "L. Nez, Diné" and marked with "200123", census number used for identification. This piece comes with original info cards, providing details on its craftsmanship and cultural significance.
