Contemporary modern Lizard PICTORIAL ACOMA PUEBLO INDIAN Mini POTTERY Plate Signed 2” signed by M. Kanteena , Laguna NM. around. Lizard: Represents perseverance and the keeping of secrets & good luck! Overall good condition with some wear!

Among Native American people symbolic imagery is extremely important to the continuation of traditional beliefs. Archaeologists have demonstrated that the marks made on pottery are very much like ancient wall paintings that have long outlasted their creators. The Native American view that all things, living or inanimate, possess a spirit is what drives this language of symbols. The symbols of nature represent the importance the elements hold for human life and existence. Certain qualities and characteristics are represented by animal symbols.
