EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Human effigy vessel from the Mississippian culture, dating back to the years 1300-1500. Crafted with precision and skill, this ceramic artifact stands at a height of 16 cm, revealing intricate details that reflect the rich heritage of North American Native Americans. The figure depicted in this artwork is portrayed as a stout and portly individual, kneeling in a seated position. The rounded features and stylized design highlight the artistic prowess of the Woodland period during which it was created. Made from terracotta clay, this earthenware piece exudes an air of authenticity and cultural significance. The craftsmanship exhibited in this artifact transports us back in time to an era when art served as both expression and communication for indigenous communities. Its presence evokes curiosity about the rituals or ceremonies for which it may have been used. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this image captures every nuance of texture and form present on the surface of this ancient vessel. Preserved within a private collection today, its historical value cannot be understated. As we admire this pre-Columbian treasure through Bakker's lens, we are reminded once again of our shared human history and how art continues to connect us across time and cultures.
