EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Altar of Pe shatsilo kwe, or the Altar of the Corn Mothers, from the Cimex Fraternity of the Zuni Nation. The image is a beautiful representation of the intricate and deeply spiritual rituals practiced by the Zuni people, an indigenous tribe residing in the Southwestern United States. The altar itself is a sacred space, used during the annual Pueblo corn planting ceremony. It is believed that the Corn Mothers, represented by the statues on the altar, bestow their blessings upon the crops, ensuring a bountiful harvest. The Cimex Fraternity, also known as the "Priests of the Corn," are responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the altar. The intricate details of the altar, including the corn, gourds, and other offerings, are meticulously rendered in this chromolithograph. The colors are vibrant and rich, adding to the otherworldly quality of the scene. The overall effect is one of awe and reverence, inviting the viewer to contemplate the deep connection between the Zuni people and the natural world. This image was created by August Hoen for the 23rd Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, published in 1904 by the Smithsonian Institution. Hoen's work is a testament to the importance of documenting and preserving the cultural traditions of indigenous peoples, and this chromolithograph remains an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ethnography and anthropology.
