The Double Lobe vase and the related triple lobe form may be unique to
Sikyatki ceramics,
but the form echo's a Mesoamerican flavor. The central
band and the lid have star designs.
In the Pueblo pantheon the star can
represent the morning star, the evening star or the solstice.
Prehistoric
star watching was a part of life and ritual. Among prehistoric sea
navigators, star
navigation was necessary for long voyages that occurred in
the americas and in Polynesia. © 1995
