Navajo pitch pottery is a low temperature fired ceramic and dark areas or "fire clouds" result from and are a "signature" of the traditional firing process that uses sheep dung or wood as fuel. Most Navajo pottery is coated with the pitch of pinon trees, (any of several small pines with edible seeds), that gives it the glossy finish, for the original purpose of waterproofing the pot. Traditional designs of corn, ye'iis, cactus, and geometric designs are appliquéd and incised on Navajo pottery. Some artists, like Betty Manygoats and her family members favor the horned toad, a lizard, that has significance in Navajo lore and legend. | ||
