EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Charnel house post, dating back to the Belle Glade culture from 1000 BC-1700 AD. Standing at an impressive height of 157 cm, this wooden sculpture is a fascinating artifact that offers insight into the mortuary practices and symbolism of the Native American Woodland period. The intricate carving on this eerie and weathered post depicts various markers and emblems associated with death and mortality. Its worn appearance adds to its mysterious allure, evoking a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The presence of a bird symbolizes the connection between life and afterlife in many indigenous cultures. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this image captures the essence of pre-Columbian artistry while also highlighting the craftsmanship that went into creating such hauntingly beautiful sculptures. With its sinister undertones, it serves as a reminder of our own mortality and invites contemplation about ancient beliefs surrounding death. Displayed in a private collection, this Charnel house post not only represents an important piece of North American history but also stands as an artistic testament to cultural traditions long gone. As we gaze upon this spooky artifact, we are transported back in time to explore the rich heritage and spiritual significance embedded within these ancient carvings.
