Description

Native American Navajo Red Clay Smoke Pot with Healing Hand by Velcita Whitegoat

This Navajo red clay pot is etched with traditional symbols and has a Healing Hand or the Hand of Friendship incorporated into the shoulder. The shape of this pot indicates that it would have been used as a "smoke pot" or one in which the individual would place dried herbs and light the herbs in order to have them smolder and "smoke" or smudge to cleanse the area and the people of evil spirits.
