Description

Leo Blackhorse Navajo Sgraffito Pottery Vase – Bear & Elk Scene, Signed

This finely crafted Navajo sgraffito pottery vase is the work of Leo Blackhorse, a Diné artist renowned for his precise etching and dramatic two-tone finishes. The vase features detailed wildlife imagery, with a bear and an elk set against a mountainous forest backdrop, framed by stylized birch trees and geometric bands.

Signed on the base, the piece is accompanied by a photograph of the artist.

Notably, Blackhorse is known for incorporating a small intentional flaw in each piece as a subtle hallmark, adding a unique touch and an element of discovery for collectors.

This is a strong example of contemporary Navajo pottery—highly collectible and visually striking, ideal for display in fine art or Native American decor settings.
