A discussion about
Navajo folk art would be incomplete without
mentioning chickens . . . those
crazy chickens! Many Navajo artists exist in this
movement and our pleasure is watching the constant
and rapid innovation in the Navajo folk art. As with
other forms of Native American art, it brings great
pleasure to the owner. Perhaps its best contribution
is the laughter and smiles it inspires while it
pushes you to look deeper into the Navajo viewpoint.

Bottom
This beautiful hand beaded glass jar was
purchased from a Navajo woman at Hard Rock on the Navajo

jars when I visit. They are absolutely beautiful. This jar measures
3.5 inches tall and approx. 3 inches in diameter. It is hand beaded
and hand sewn. The bottom is finished in black leather. It has a
screw top.
