EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Panther effigy pipe, dating back to the 1st-4th century AD. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Copena culture, this steatite masterpiece stands at a length of 16 cm. Housed in a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage of Native American artistry. The image captures the essence of this ancient artifact with great detail and precision. The crouching panther is depicted in a stylized manner, exuding power and grace. Its snarling expression adds an element of intensity to its already formidable presence. Belonging to the Woodland period, this carving represents not only an artistic achievement but also serves as evidence of cultural significance within North America's history. The jaguar-like features pay homage to one of nature's most revered predators. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this print beautifully preserves every intricate line and curve etched into the stone surface. It invites viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such an object and its symbolic meaning within Native American traditions. As we admire this pre-Columbian treasure from afar, let us marvel at how art can transcend time and connect us with civilizations that came before us.
