Pottery
Pottery is an important product in all cultures, but particularly among the Pueblo people of the Southwest. Being mostly sedentary farmers, they could use and house vessels of significant weight and size, and the material for making them was and is abundant. Southwestern pottery is identifiable by tribe as each group uses its local clay decorated in its traditional designs. The Navajo also make pottery although their tradition is not as old as that of the Pueblo people. Traditionally, Navajo pottery is finished with pitch to make it water tight. All pottery we show here is hand coiled and traditionally made.
