EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Labantsiksa, the Revered Shaman of the Khorintzi Buryat People: A Glimpse into Ancient Siberian Shamanism" This image portrays Labantsiksa, a revered shaman of the Khorintzi Buryat people, who inhabited the vast expanses of Siberia during the early 19th century. The illustration, taken from Peter Simon Pallas' "Travels through the Southern Provinces of the Russian Empire," was meticulously hand-colored by Lazaretti for the "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages" published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. Labantsiksa is depicted wearing traditional attire that reflects her sacred role within her community. Adorned with a helmet adorned with antlers, a leather dress bedecked with jingling bells, and a cape embellished with three entwined serpents, she exudes an aura of mystique and power. In her hands, she holds sticks with horse-head handles, symbolizing her connection to the natural world and the animals that sustained her people. Shamanism, an ancient spiritual practice, played a significant role in the lives of the Buryat people. Shamans, such as Labantsiksa, were believed to possess the ability to communicate with the spirit world and heal the sick, ensuring the well-being of their communities. This image offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the Khorintzi Buryats, providing valuable insights into the lives of indigenous peoples of Siberia during this time. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate shading of Labantsiksa's face to the meticulously rendered antlers and serpents, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver, Dell Acqua, and the colorist, Lazaretti. This image not only showcases the beauty and complexity of Buryat shamanism but also offers a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural tapestry of Siberia's indigenous peoples.
