EDITORS COMMENTS
Mask of the He mishiikwe (He-mishi-ikwe, meaning 'She Who Goes Before'), is a sacred mask from the Zuni Nation in New Mexico, USA. This mask is an essential component of the Zuni people's rituals and ceremonies, representing the deity of fertility, rain, and agriculture. The mask is intricately carved and adorned with feathers, shells, and other natural materials. The image presented here is a chromolithograph, a type of lithography that uses multiple lithographic stones, each bearing a separate color, to create a multicolored print. This particular chromolithograph was produced by August Hoen for the 23rd Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, published in Washington, D.C., in 1904, under the direction of John Wesley Powell. The report, which focused on ethnographic research, contained numerous illustrations of artifacts and masks from various Native American tribes, including the Zuni. The He mishiikwe mask, along with a tablet, is depicted in this chromolithograph. The tablet, held by the mask, is believed to represent the offerings made during the rituals. The Zuni people have a rich cultural heritage, and their traditional practices continue to be an integral part of their daily lives. The He mishiikwe mask and its associated rituals are a testament to their deep connection to the land and the natural world. This chromolithograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the Zuni people's history, beliefs, and artistic traditions.
