Tom Vail Navajo Horsehair Figures – Blanket Man & Woman, Signed
This striking pair of ceramic figurines is crafted by renowned Navajo artist Tom Vail, known for his masterful horsehair pottery. The set features a man in a wide-brimmed hat and a woman with a rounded head covering, each wrapped in stylized blankets with hand-incised geometric sgraffito designs. The distinctive black veining across the warm beige surface is created by the traditional horsehair raku firing technique, a signature of the Vail family’s artistry. Both pieces are signed “Vail” on the base, affirming authenticity. A refined representation of Southwestern craftsmanship, this pair makes a beautiful display for collectors of Native American art.
