SHAMAN
The bison (Tatanka) provided food, clothes and shelter for the American
plains Indians, and had great spiritual significance. A nomadic lifestyle
allowed the people to stay close to the large herds. Before a great hunt, the
tribal Shaman (religious leader) often wore a Tatanka ceremonial mask or
headdress in ceremonies asking for strength for the hunters and success in the
hunt. One of my largest and most striking pieces this piece is highlighted
by feathers and beads on leather strips. The
base on this one measures about 22 inches by 32 inches. Wool Sculptures are custom made to order, please call Raven to talk about placing an order. |
