Commentary
Although distinctive double-spout vessels like this are found throughout the Pueblos, they are believed to have originated at Santa Clara. Vessels of this shape are used in traditional wedding ceremonies at Santa Clara and are known as "wedding vases" (Harlow, 1977, p. 30). Their forms resemble the double-spout jars of ancient Mesoamerica and Peru.
