MUD - Native American Pottery

Um, these fragments that we usually find here in the country, I like this piece much more than any other piece I've found and I think it's very impressive and I always wonder how these early inhabitants of this country do it. I made all this so so strange so strange in an ailero if I was working on this it's just a work of art it's like the clay is telling you do me this, shape me this way or make me this way and this is this is the way that these individual pieces are made it seems that these ceramics take their own shape when you make them foreign a foreign foreign foreign foreign I don't know my is foreign here now with these designs like this you see the The design that it has comes in a different shape and everything has its meeting.

You have a symbol that looks like this and then the next symbol it has is the same, but the only distinction is that this one has about n, as this symbol represents. the cloud would be, let's just put clouds, this would represent the man and there is always this feminine and masculine role within the symbols that we put on these ceramic lines that make a big difference, sometimes we make lines like this when we make vertical lines. and the horizontal line, this represents again is always the woman and the man, this is how we distinguish these designs from each other and then you have designs that go into this for the zigzag formation and that means this represents the man and then you have your design that goes in this straight formation, a kind of slight curve that would represent the woman, which was the traditional ceramic shape, but in this case these lines around are supposed to be like a type of ring that is never found, in reality, usually there is a space which is usually an opening if there was a design that was taking place in the middle of this square there always has to be this opening here that you call them to prevent disease or to prevent and being in a bind you always have an opening , the other formation is like to work with the rain you have rain formation and that is what I define in this ceramic, this means rain and then you can also distinguish the rain, there is one in this formation and it also represents the masculine, but I guess that this is the feminine rain and above. here would be the male rain, well, in the United States you find this shape like a star.

The Indian star, especially the Navajo star, was reported to have a kind of diamond shape. This is what we call a star. We have echelon formation, which means that generally our design goes this way and that's called echelon formation and then we also have formations like this, that's how we do it and they're called trees, they're called mountains and the reason why we place there generally is to put a line here and then vice versa this like this this formation and the same with this stepped formation if it is the other way around like this one they have in the Navajo Indian ceremonial basket this is called reflection of the mountain with a lake we have a symbol of this we have a big plus symbol and we have the plus symbol in that formation and then we have fours and we have a seventh formation and then we have a seven formation and vice versa and then we also work with the big l to call it b l that's the big l that it is the oldest design we work with this means marriage you only use this symbol in terms of a marriage interview for a married individual but this is called unity and strength when it is intertwined and always as this idea intertwined, this represents here the direction from the corner, but when you get down to it, they're all about

native

plants when it comes to being at these multiple points here and then when people are sitting, usually when they cross their legs. if they have big feet here big shoe and pants here sometimes we sit like this with our legs crossed and it forms a four and that's why we call it uh the foot and we generally look at it like that and that is called seven and the big one I'm supposed to be like uh , in a night talk we use this as we call it a rotating log, which means that on these logs there is usually a sand painting on this, so it says in this formation and that's why we use those symbols. foreigner is um this is okay is foreigner my a is foreigner he you
