EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Wulfing plate, a remarkable artifact from the Mississippian culture that thrived in Missouri between 1200 and 1400. Crafted out of copper, this stunning piece stands at an impressive height of 21 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The Wulfing plate represents the artistic prowess and ingenuity of the native American people during the Woodland period. Its intricate design features a zoomorphic composition, combining elements of both feline and avine creatures. The stylized eagle with its majestic wings dominates the center, while a cat-like figure gracefully adorns one side. This hybrid representation symbolizes the harmonious coexistence between different species within nature. The metalwork techniques employed to create this masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The repousse and embossed details bring depth and texture to every element on the plate, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship by skilled artisans. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact frozen in time through Dirk Bakker's lens, we are transported back to a bygone era where Native Americans flourished in their cultural expression. The Wulfing plate serves as a testament to their rich heritage and provides us with valuable insights into their beliefs, traditions, and artistic sensibilities during the 13th and 14th centuries.
