Native American Jemez Hand-Built and Hand-Painted Wedding Vase

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. Native American potter and sculptor Felicia Fragua, of Jemez Pueblo New Mexico, handbuilt, carved, and handpainted this beautiful wedding vase with its wide loop that connects the two spouts. As an added bonus she added the happy couple reaching out to one another at the top of the loop that connects their lives. She did a beautiful job on this vessel.

Dimensions: 8 inches tall x 4.75 inches wide at spouts
