EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A Siberian Tartar Shaman and Burial Ground" takes us back to the early 19th century in Siberia. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of an ethnographical ritual performed by a Tongouse shaman adorned with antler horns. The shaman, known for his spiritual connection with the supernatural world, stands tall beside a burial ground marked by a cross. In this powerful display of shamanism, he is seen attacking evil spirits and mourning the loss of life symbolized by a dead horse nearby. Surrounded by onlookers, the shaman's dance becomes an integral part of this sacred ceremony. His elaborate costume made from antlers adds to the mystique as he brandishes his shield and club. The tent in the background hints at the nomadic lifestyle prevalent among these indigenous people living amidst vast Siberian landscapes. This engraving provides us with valuable anthropological insights into their rituals and customs. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artwork offers viewers a glimpse into ancient traditions that have shaped cultures throughout generations. As we observe this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to another time and place where spirituality intertwines with nature's forces—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mystical realms beyond our own.
