EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - the Beaver effigy platform pipe. Created between 100 BC and 200 AD by the Havana Hopewell culture, this exquisite artifact is crafted from pipestone, pearl, and bone. Measuring at a length of 11.6 cm, it now resides in the prestigious Thomas Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The intricate carving depicts a zoomorphic representation of a beaver, paying homage to the rich wildlife that once thrived in North America during the Woodland period. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring as every curve and contour has been meticulously carved into this smoking instrument. What sets this artifact apart is its unique inlay work using precious materials like pearl and bone. This technique adds an extra layer of beauty and craftsmanship to an already stunning piece. As we gaze upon this ancient treasure captured through Dirk Bakker's lens, we are transported back in time to when Native American cultures flourished across these lands. It serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and their ability to transform raw materials into works of art. This photograph not only preserves history but also evokes admiration for the talent and creativity displayed by our ancestors. It reminds us that even centuries later, their legacy lives on through these extraordinary artifacts that continue to captivate our imagination today.
