Wonderful craftsmanship and artistry went into making this 10 1/2 inch long pottery bell by R. Yazzie, of the Navajo Nation.
Narrower at the top, with 5 1/4 inch flaring bottom opening, the wind bell is painted in earth tones such as warm brown, cocoa, ivory and charcoal on a smooth matte background. The design features geometric lines, native symbols, and tepee structures.
Two pottery pieces made of the same composition as the bell are in place. One is a 5 inch long diamond shape, that hangs beneath the bell to catch the wind, while the second one is a 3 inch in diameter circular clapper, inside of the bell, that sounds with a deep, resonant bell tone. These pieces are attached to sturdy, jute rope, through a top opening. The total length of the bell and rope together is 16 inches.
Etched inside the wind bell is the artist’s name, R. Yazzie, a date of May 24, 1981, along with Navajo, Mesa Verde Pottery. We are pleased to be able to offer this superb pottery bell from a renowned Navajo artist at a low purchase price.
