Marilyn Kinlichee Signed Navajo Pottery Vase — 14.75" Bears, Hand Painted
A bold Navajo pottery vase by Marilyn Kinlichee, signed on the underside. This large, beautifully decorated piece features stylized bear motifs flanked by intricate hand-painted and sgraffito-carved geometric bands in rich earth tones, highlighted with shades of blue, green, and cream.
Crafted using a slip cast form and fully hand-finished, this work showcases Kinlichee’s mastery of detailed carving and vibrant color blending. The artist’s signature, Marilyn Kinlichee, Navajo, is incised on the base.
In Navajo culture, the bear symbolizes strength, protection, and healing—honored as a guardian spirit and revered for its wisdom and powerful connection to nature.
A dynamic and meaningful piece, ideal for collectors of Native American pottery and Southwestern art.
