EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Taino culture through a remarkable artifact known as Duho. Crafted from wood and manatee bone, this intricately carved piece stands at 62x45 cm and is housed in the prestigious Museo del Hombre Dominicano in the Dominican Republic. The Duho itself is a chair-like seat adorned with a figure that exudes an enigmatic smile. Its meticulously carved features, including teeth, wooden legs, and a captivating head, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of its creators. The use of wood as the primary material adds warmth and authenticity to this ancient relic. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this image beautifully showcases every detail of this extraordinary work of art. The lighting highlights each curve and contour while capturing the natural textures found within both wood and bone. With its rich historical significance rooted in Taino culture, this Duho serves as a testament to their artistic prowess and reverence for nature. It invites viewers into an era long gone but not forgotten – one where craftsmanship was celebrated and everyday objects were transformed into masterpieces. As we admire this photograph, we are transported to another time; one can almost imagine sitting on the Duho's seat while experiencing its timeless beauty firsthand.
