A minaret is a feature of Islamic architecture and is the place from where the call to prayer is sent out five times a day. It is usually a lofty, slender, tower or turret attached to a mosque, surrounded by or furnished with one or more balconies.

The Minaret comprises of a self-supporting vessel that is inspired by the balconies, turrets and spires of a minaret. Interconnected peyote woven spiked waves surround the body alluding to the balcony of a minaret. Little bumps provide texture to the body. The lid is the spire of the minaret and is given shape by weaving around a wooden form. The entire vessel is embellished either on the surface or through the use of different coloured beads to showcase the ornate beauty and intricacy of Islamic design.
