Part of Pueblo life for centuries, wedding vases—like this one-of-a-kind Site-Wa-Na Geometric Wedding Vase—are considered sacred among tribal members. At once traditional and contemporary, Site-Wa-Na of the Laguna Pueblo formed this wedding vase from coils of locally gathered Laguna Pueblo clay. Site-Wa-Na then hand painted his geometric design with naturally tinted clay slips, before firing it over an open pit kiln. Signed by the artist. Handcrafted in New Mexico.
