EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Inside of Set-T aintes Shield" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Kiowa Indians. The color lithograph showcases an intricate illustration from an article on Calendar History by James Mooney, featured in the Seventeenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. The image depicts a beautifully adorned shield, meticulously crafted with feathers and symbolic designs. It serves as both a protective tool and a representation of tribal identity for these indigenous warriors. Each feather holds significance within their culture, embodying stories and traditions passed down through generations. Through this artwork, we are transported to North America's native lands, where tribes like the Kiowa thrived amidst breathtaking landscapes. This engraving not only captures historical moments but also sheds light on the social fabric that shaped Native American communities during this era. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that anthropology and ethnology play crucial roles in understanding and appreciating diverse cultures worldwide. The fusion of artistry and history showcased here invites us to explore our shared human experiences while celebrating unique customs that have stood the test of time. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from their collection – one that sparks curiosity about our collective past while honoring indigenous peoples' contributions to American history.
