Mask of the Shumai Koli of the Zenith, Zuni Nation: A Vibrant Symbol of Zuni Ritual and Cosmology This chromolithograph, titled "Mask of the Shumai Koli of the Zenith, Zuni Nation," is a stunning representation of the rich cultural heritage of the Zuni people. Created by August Hoen for the 23rd Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1904, under the direction of John Wesley Powell, this lithographic print offers a glimpse into the intricate world of Zuni masks and their role in the tribe's spiritual practices. The Shumai Koli, or "Corn Maiden," is a central figure in Zuni mythology and rituals. The mask represents the embodiment of the Corn Maiden, who is believed to ensure the fertility of crops and the prosperity of the community. The Zenith reference signifies the mask's association with the celestial world and the sky deities, further emphasizing the interconnectedness of the natural world and the spiritual realm in Zuni cosmology. The intricate design of the mask is a testament to the Zuni people's artistic prowess and their deep understanding of symbolism. The mask's features, including the elongated nose, the protruding cheeks, and the elaborate headdress, are all symbolic representations of various aspects of nature and the cosmos. The mask's vibrant colors and intricate patterns add to its allure and mystique, making it an essential piece of Zuni ethnography and a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Native American art and culture.
