Featured Diné wedding vase

Just picked up this Dine' (Navajo) Wedding vase. It's signed 'S.B. Claw' (Silas & Bertha Claw) the well-known potters.They revolutionized Diné pottery with their unconventional subject matter and colors.

This could authentic Claw or by one of their imitators.
Actual Claw pieces look to have been signed 'ClAW' and 'CLAW', had both curved and flat upper straps/handles-just not certain about the rendering of the horned toad ?
Some of Silas applique work is more precise than other examples.
Height 7 7/8" tall, they used both varnish and pinon pitch coating,oil and acrylic paint,and from what I've seen felt pen (Sharpie ?).

 

AJ-When I first saw it I thought-'What the hell is this weird thing ?'. I'm not a student of Amerindian Pottery and wasn't aware of how much Dine' pottery has changed in the last 40 years.
But then the much hated Robot quickly snapped-'Not so quick moronic mortal !'

 

Yours sure looks a lot like the ones for sale on the King Gallery website! Seems right to me...
