Native American Navajo Red Clay Wedding Vase with Lizards
The Wedding Vase is an ancient vessel that continues to play a role in traditional Pueblo wedding ceremonies. Each spout symbolizes one of the individuals to be wed, while the looped handle signifies the unity achieved through marriage. The space within the loop embodies the circle of life. During the traditional ceremony, the couple drinks nectar, prepared by the medicine man, from the spouts, symbolizing the merging of their lives. The pot serves as a representation of this ancient rite. This beautifully etched vase features lizards encircling its middle. The lizard symbolizes patience and wisdom, thriving in harsh environments, knowing where to find water, and when to seek shade from the desert sun. ^
