A cairn is a marker left by human hands, a quiet signal of presence, passage, and remembrance. Cairn holds that same intention. This horse hair fired vase carries smoke-drawn lines and organic impressions created in a single, unrepeatable moment, making each piece a record of fire, breath, and time.
Hand-made and fired using the traditional Navajo horse hair technique, the surface bears delicate carbon tracings that resemble pathways, maps, and ancestral markings. No two pieces are alike. Each vessel stands as a threshold object, something placed not just for use, but for witnessing.
Cairn is an offering vessel, an altar piece, or a keeper of small rituals. A reminder that we mark what matters, and that even the simplest gesture can become a guidepost for those who come after.
Each vessel is completed with a custom design added before shipping. The final markings are painted or etched by hand, honoring the piece as a singular, finished offering.
