#TBT: Ancient Patterns, Ancient Paths

Photo copyright Wings, 2014; all rights reserved.

It's your daily pointer post, this time for Throwback Thursday.

This is the featured item at The NDN Silver Blog. It's a piece by master potter Angie Yazzie, and, yes, it is for sale, but it's not really the point of the post.

The post takes a path of its own, through a little history of Taos Pueblo's micaceous pottery, through the clay itself, through methods of turning the clay into works of art. It peruses ancient patterns, and follows ancient paths; it climbs down the kiva steps, and sets off into the four directions. It's a snapshot of an older time, with older ways, ways that are still followed even today.

Go check it out. See what you think. And, as always, shares from the social-media buttons at the linked pages on Wings's Web site are always welcome.
