EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a wooden carved idol called Kivvasa, discovered in a charnel house in Secoton, North Carolina during the late 16th century. The intricate details of this Amerindian artifact are brought to life through the skilled craftsmanship of Theodore de Bry and John White. The idol stands tall, adorned with bead necklaces, a deer-skin jacket, apron skirt, and beaded moccasins. Its hairdress resembles that of the Timucua people from Florida. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and religious practices of Native American societies during this era. Surrounded by an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this woodblock engraving is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned work on ancient and modern costumes from around the world. It was published in Paris between 1859-1860. Through this print, we can appreciate not only the artistry involved in creating such idols but also their significance within indigenous communities. The idol Kivvasa represents more than just an object; it symbolizes centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and recognizing its profound impact on our understanding of history and society as a whole.
