Feathers and Clouds

Acrylic, 36 x 36 Gallery-Wrap, Black Floater Frame

In anticipation of the rainy season, a San Ildefonso ceremonial bowl, with cloud, lightning, and water serpent motifs, will hold sacred feathers and blue seed corn. A dance sash awaits the coming ceremonies, when both the emerging kachina messengers and the feathered angel (introduced by Spaniards in the 1500s) portrayed on this ancient tableta, may be asked to relay the request.
