EDITORS COMMENTS
Shrine and Effigies of the Elder War-God on Corn Mountain-Zuni, 1925" is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned American ethnologist and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. This image, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Zuni people, was captured in the mesa lands of McKinley County, New Mexico, United States, during the 1920s. The photograph depicts an intricately crafted shrine adorned with wooden effigies of the Elder War-God, a revered deity in Zuni tribal culture. The shrine, located on Corn Mountain, is a sacred site where the Zuni people perform rituals and offer blessings to their ancestors and the gods. The wooden figures, dressed in traditional Zuni clothing and adorned with feathers, shells, and other natural materials, are believed to represent various aspects of the Elder War-God. The photograph, a photogravure on paper, captures the raw beauty and spiritual significance of the Zuni people's connection to their land and their traditions. The contrast between the stark, barren landscape of Corn Mountain and the intricately carved and adorned wooden effigies creates a striking visual juxtaposition. The image invites us to reflect on the deep spiritual beliefs and practices of the Zuni people, and the importance of preserving and honoring indigenous cultures. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the American West and the importance of documenting and preserving the traditions and beliefs of indigenous communities. Edward Sheriff Curtis's work continues to inspire and educate generations about the beauty and complexity of Native American tribal cultures.
