Symbols and iconography depicted on pottery and embroidery are not only for ornate decorative purposes, but carry great symbolic significance and serve as visual representations of the landscape, natural world, and, if used properly, for prayer. When wearing a silk jacket or tank top, you become the vessel, carrying and embodying those traditional teachings and value systems with you. There is truth to our way of life and knowledge deeply rooted and embedded within Puebloan art forms.
