Kalash

This is suppose to be a Kalash/Kalasha which is a sort of ceremonial pot used in Hindu rituals. From what I understand, it is filled with water and decorated with mango leaves and a coconut on top. It represents creation, the primordial waters from which life began, and abundance. If I got any symbolism wrong, that's my fault. I just wanted to deepen the clipart available on openclipart (although we do have some #kalash clipart already, nice!), and one way to do that is to go beyond the typical rituals and symbols used in some collections.
