Vintage Navajo Sand Art

Vintage Navajo Sand Art Authentic Navajo Framed Sandpainting. Sandpaintings originate from Navajo healing ceremonies. The medicine man builds a sand-painting & places the patient in the middle of it. To aid in the healing process, sand from the painting is rubbed over certain parts of the patient's body. When the ceremony is over, the sandpainting is destroyed, thereby destroying the illness. This Navajo symbol of healing is now appreciated as a work of art. In great vintage condition, size about 7x7 Pick up downtown Calgary, parking available, cash only please
