Vintage NATIVE AMERICAN Pottery withWHIRLING LOG Symbol
Whirling Logs are used in Navajo sand paintings during a healing or other type of ceremony. A sand painting is supposed to be a temporary piece of art which is destroyed after the ceremony is over. However sand painting designs are also used in prints and framed paintings, rugs and on jewelry.

The Whirling Log symbol is associated with a narrative involving a man (sometimes called the Culture Hero) who takes a journey down the San Juan River in a hollowed out log canoe. During his adventure, he encounters whirlpools and a special event where the San Juan River meets the Colorado River.

There he comes upon a whirling cross with Yei figures seated on the cross. From the Yeis he learns much knowledge which he takes back to his people. This particular Navajo Indian Pottery came out of an Native American Indian Collection. It is approximately 6 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" tall.

It is in very good condition. Please take a look at the attached pictures and judge for yourself. Thank You and Good Luck.
