Spiritual Significance
Although we don't know the specific purpose of this bowl,
studies of later Native American cultures suggest that bowls
in animal forms served religious functions. Traditional
Native Americans have long considered animals as their
brothers and sisters and have often attributed spiritual
powers to them. The Caddo may have
regarded birds as spiritual creatures.
