Horsehair pot by Navajo potter Whitegoat. The vase is 8" x 6".
Navajo horsehair pottery with etchings of traditional Navajo designs. The intricate designs take the horse hair style a step higher with detailed etchings in the fired horse hair clay.
The wedding vase has been a part of Pueblo tradition for centuries. The two spouts represent two separate lives. The top part of the vase unite these as one. For the ceremony the vase is filled with Indian holy water. The bride drinks from one side and the groom from the opposite side. This is the same as exchanging wedding bands. The married couple will keep this vase throughout their married life.
