EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable artifact from the Ohio Hopewell culture, dating back to 200 BC-400 AD. The hand-shaped cutout, crafted from mica, stands at an impressive height of 29 cm. A treasured piece held in a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of Native American cultures. The intricate details and symbolic significance of this ancient metalwork are truly awe-inspiring. As we examine the delicate contours and precise lines that form the hand shape, we can't help but wonder about its intended meaning. Was it used as a decorative ornament or perhaps held deeper cultural significance? Belonging to the Woodland period in North America, this artifact serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its creators. The mount plaque on which it is displayed adds another layer of beauty and elegance to this already mesmerizing piece. Through Dirk Bakker's expert photography skills, every nuance and texture are brought to life before our eyes. We are transported back in time, connecting with those who lived centuries ago while appreciating their mastery over materials like mica. As we admire this pre-Columbian treasure captured forever by Bakker's lens, let us reflect on the enduring legacy left behind by Native American civilizations – their artistry continues to inspire admiration and fascination even today.
