Native American Navajo Red Clay Wedding Vase with Dragonflies
Description
Native American Navajo Red Clay Wedding Vase with Dragonflies by Arlene Bennett
The Wedding Vase is an ancient vessel still used in traditional Pueblo wedding ceremonies. Each spout of the vessel represents one of those to be wed. The looped handle represents the unity achieved with marriage. The space created within the loop represents the circle of life. In the traditional ceremony, the couple drink nectar (prepared by the medicine man) from the spouts to represent the blending of their lives. The pot is a reflection of the ancient rite. This beautifully etched vase has an etched band of dragonflies around the center. The dragonflies represent summertime, beauty and rain.
