Marilyn Kinlichee Signed Navajo Pottery Vase — 14.75" Hummingbirds
A striking Navajo pottery vase by Marilyn Kinlichee, signed on the underside. This large, finely decorated piece features hand-painted hummingbirds in flight, surrounded by intricate geometric banding in rich earth tones. Delicate sgraffito carving adds depth and dimension to the surface.
The vase was created using a slip cast form and entirely hand-finished, showcasing Kinlichee’s expertise in color layering and traditional Navajo symbolism. The artist’s signature, Marilyn Kinlichee, Navajo, is incised on the base.
In Navajo culture, the hummingbird is a powerful symbol of hope, renewal, and perseverance—believed to carry prayers to the heavens and bring blessings back to the people. This motif enhances the vase’s beauty and spiritual resonance, making it a meaningful centerpiece for any collection.
A dynamic and finely crafted work, ideal for collectors of Native American art or distinctive Southwestern décor.
