Set of clay dishes
Created

Type
Description
Objects: 6 clay plates
Description
These clay dishes are traditionally used for the preparation and consumption of food, as well as in the various ceremonies of the Yaqui tribe. They are considered sacred and special elements, since the four basic elements of nature are involved in their manufacture: water, air, earth and fire.
As an example of the above, it is considered that wakabaki (broth with meat and vegetables), a ceremonial dish par excellence, in order to preserve all its symbolism should be served in clay dishes and eaten with a reed spoon. Other important ceremonies where the use of these utensils is essential are for the Last Supper where the table is served with atole de bledo, covered with pitahaya, roasted zayas, toasted corn pinole, cooked corn, among other traditional preparations.
