|
This piece is called 'He Came Back
Holy'. It is the image of a Lakota medicine man. "Lakota"
is the proper name for the Native Americans that are often referred to
as the Sioux.
When a young man wanted to be considered a
man, he bathed in a sweat lodge to purify himself and went out to be
alone. He fasted and prayed until the Great Spirit gave him a
vision. In the vision he was shown what his spirit helper was
and what he was to do.
This medicine man was shown that his spirit
helper was the buffalo, that is why he wears a buffalo headress when he
practices his medicine. In addition the Great spirit brought him to a
place where he found the vertebrae of a prehistoric mammoth, which he
thinks was a giant buffalo. The amulet he wears around his neck was
fashioned from this vertebrae.
This piece is 15 inches high on a 2 inch
high plinth (base). It is made of one piece of "Butternut"
wood.
