Chasinghorse Vase
Made from hardy mesquite, this vase has great character. It has a wonderful light/dark contrast with a few knots and lines indicative of its long life. Cracks and holes were filled with crushed 100% turquoise. With a super shiny finish, it was designed to hold a few dried grasses and will not hold water. Native Americans called mesquite the “Tree of Life’” and used the pods, leaves, blossoms, sap and roots for food and medicine.
Height: 6-1/4”
Top Diameter:13/16”
Maximum Diameter: 3-1/4”
Bottom Diameter: 2/5/8”
