She said it \"depicts Pueblo teachings related to parental duties and responsibilities, not only to its own young, but to extended families and community.\" She shared that memories are connected in her work and that one day on a meditative walk in Zuni to pray and make connection, a gentle monarch butterfly appeared, lingering and dancing around her head. Several more butterflies came and hovered close, which Angelina said was a blessing because they are messengers who carry words to particular beings. Here we see several stunning clay appliqué butterflies on the rim of the bowl. The baby butterfly stands at the precipice, flanked by both guiding parents. She said flowers have a purpose in life too, a reason for being, they are important. She traded the yellow and green paints with a fellow potter. Painted patterns \"symbolize flight and movement: zig-zagging through uncertainty, moving in any direction, and navigating the up-and-down motions of life. They represent the testing and experimenting that every child must endure to master independence.\" Approximately 6 7\/8\" long, 6 7\/8\" wide and roughly 3 3\/4\" tall, from traditional clay painted with natural earth pigments.
