Green Bowl with Native Woman 8″ Round

This exquisite glass bowl is a tribute to both modern artistry and the rich tapestry of Native American culture. The vibrant lime green of the bowl’s expanse serves as the open canvas of the wild, mirroring the vast fields where traditions run as deep as the roots of the earth. Central to this piece is an elongated, oval-shaped design, alive with the colors and energy of a Native American woman adorned in her traditional attire. The pattern, with its layered stripes of earthy amber, tranquil sky blue, sunset orange, and ivory white, cascades down the center like a beautifully woven ceremonial dress, each band of color a symbolic thread in the fabric of her heritage.

The silhouette of the pattern evokes the graceful stature of the woman, standing proud and tall, a visual echo of generations of strength and dignity. This bowl is more than a functional item; it’s a narrative piece that tells a story with every glance. It’s as if the glass itself has captured a moment of celebration, a dance of colors and culture that invites reflection and respect. Whether used to hold items of significance or left empty to showcase its intricate centerpiece, this bowl is sure to be a meaningful addition to any space, honoring the past while holding space for the present.
