Vintage Maricopa Indian Pottery Rare Decorated Whirling Logs Design Bowl Vase
Being offered is a vintage, Maricopa Indian made pottery bowl. The bowl has the rare whirling logs design encircling the bowl making this piece made previous to World War 2. The bowl does show typical age related wearing in places. There are surface scratches, scuffs, and abrasions in places. The bowls designs in black also show wearing to the color. The bowl is intact with no chips, cracks, hairlines, or structural damage. The bowl is approx. 6 1/4″ wide at its widest portion by 2 3/8″ tall. The earliest known swastika was seen about 10,000 years ago. The intricate pattern of joined swastikas was found on a late paleolithic figurine of a bird, carved from mammoth ivory, found in Mezine, Ukraine. The word’swastika’ derives from an Asian Indian Sanskrit word, in which the meaning of the swastika stands for universal welfare. “Swasti” means well-being of one and all and “ka” means symbol. The swastika is one of the most ancient of all symbols and used as a symbol for peace, life and good luck. In the Western world, it was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck until the 1930s, when it was hijacked by the German Aryan party. I find the taking of an Indian symbol despicable, and chose not to mention their name. The swastika motif is found in some traditional Native American art and iconography. Historically, the design has been found in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. It is also widely used by a number of southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo, and plains nations such as the Dakota. The Aryan icon is an inverted version of the traditional American Indian symbol, which usually features the arms pointing counterclockwise. Before the 1930s, the symbol for the 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army was a red diamond with a yellow swastika, a tribute to the large Native American population in the southwestern United States. It was later replaced with a thunderbird symbol. The swastika is a Navajo symbol for good luck, also translated to whirling log. The symbol was used on state road signs in Arizona. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the swastika symbol became established in Western cultures, especially with the Navajo culture, as a good luck or good fortune symbol, and was used in Native healing ceremonies. The Navajos incorporated the swastika into their rugs, jewelry, and art. Arizona’s indigenous Pima and Maricopa people wove them into their baskets and painted them onto their pots. The swastika’s meaning does seem to be similar across cultures, generally denoting abundance and prosperity and referring to the four cardinal directions. In addition, I sell items for Native Americans and from personal collections. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my items. Please let me know ahead of time.

Sash is white green and orange with whirling log and other geometric patterns. Very tightly hand woven about 28 x 15 stitches per inch. Approximately 56″ long x 1 1/16″. I cannot find any similar examples in my searches. I’m guessing it’s Dine(Navajo) because it has whirling logs. I know the whirling log was prevalent in Dine weavings during the first quarter of 20th century so I would date the sash to this timeframe. Though it may be earlier. If you have any information about this type of sash please reach out. Found at a local Albuquerque estate.
