Many native peoples including the indigenous people of the American southwest, Australia, latin america, and even some Buddhist monks practiced the art of sandpainting. This art involves using colored sands, minerals/crystals, pigments, and any other natural coloring to make a fixed, textured art piece. This piece pictures a Navajo wedding vase which the parents of the groom typically craft from nearby river clay for the wedding.
