Binishtaa Navajo Vase

Binishtaa Navajo Vase — a finely etched pottery vessel reflecting the legacy of Native American ceramic artistry. Hand-formed and signed by Binishtaa, this mid-sized vase features classic Navajo styling, with etched geometric bands encircling a rich terracotta body. The piece shows subtle natural firing variation and a warm matte finish that highlights the handmade quality of the work.

Binishtaa is among a number of contemporary Navajo potters working in traditional forms, often combining ancient motifs with a personal touch. Geometric patterns like the ones featured here are not just decorative — they reflect cultural heritage, symbolism, and intergenerational techniques passed through craft and family. Each piece is formed by hand and etched before firing, often without the use of a potter’s wheel.

This vase offers both sculptural presence and cultural resonance. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a Native American art collection, it honors Indigenous creativity and the enduring beauty of traditional pottery forms.
