Close-up of a Indigenous Coast Salish handcrafted, expressive wooden mask resting on a wood surface. The mask has a rounded face, stylized features with eye-holes and an open mouth. Black painted sections accent the edges, and a round piece of abalone shell is embedded at the center top. The wood grain is clearly visible, suggesting a natural finish.

Beaded #Turtle & Beaded #Lizard Umbilical Pouches
On display at Santa Rosa Junior College Multicultural Museum (CA, USA)
“Umbilical pouches are created by Plains women when babies are born. The umbilical cord of the newborn is dried & then sewn into the pouch. The pouch may then be then hung on cradleboards or blankets as a protective amulet or hung on a tree to draw spirits away from the child. Lizards represent boys & turtles represent girls.”

Being on the back burner since 2023, I'm currently remastering a comic I made in 2012 (text and some visual overhauls) that was my senior project before graduation back then. Here's a preview of said comic's first panel. #Art #Comics #IndigenousArt #IndigenousComics #NativeArt #NativeComics #Preview

#Coyote Head
Toltec, Early Post-Classic (900-1250 CE)
Offering of the El Corral Shrine, Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico
Ceramic vessel with shell mosaic and bone, H 13 x W 9.6 cm

“This vessel, known as the "coyote head," depicts the feathered canine from whose jaws a bearded figure emerges or appears. It was made on a lead-colored ceramic vessel with mother-of-pearl mosaics that emulate the coyote's feathers. The teeth of both figures were made from bone, while the hair and beard were made from seashells. This piece may possibly be an early representation of the "coyote warriors," later adopted by Mexica society.”

“Now, while talking about seashells and snails for the pre-Hispanic era are often contemplated the origin of marine environments, it is true that several species of freshwater were also used. Here stands out the Toltec society, whose population made outstanding use of those resources and whose obtaining would seem easier than that of the seas, although its current distribution does not rule out the existence of exchange networks, as happened with those. The majority is the use of seashells necaradas, mainly of the genus Nephronaias, with which they were made tessels. Perhaps the best-known example of this phenomenon is the pottery piece exhibited in the Tolteca Room of the National Museum of Anthropology, identified as the Warrior Coyote or the Feathered Coyote and covered with iridescent shell mosaics. In addition, in archaeological projects developed in the region of Tula, in the state of Hidalgo, it is common to find complete valves, others in the process of modification, as well as finished objects elaborated with the mentioned genres.” https://arqueologiamexicana.mx/mexico-antiguo/guerrero-coyote

Day 2 of the quillwork medallion workshop, finished.

Quillwork medallion I worked on and finished during a weekend workshop at my tribe. Held with birchbark and leather string, the medallion was made out of porcupine quills threaded. The shape of the design is a bear claw; the claws resemble that of the transgender flag, and the paw part is light purple. The edges of the circular medallion was laced in sinew wrapping around sweetgrass.

Exploring the intricate artistry of the Nasca and Wari spatula, one can't help but marvel at its dual significance—both practical and ceremonial. How do these cultural artifacts deepen our understanding of indigenous practices?
