EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a shaman of the Tungus people, hailing from the vast and mystical land of Siberia. The image, originally drawn by Nicolaes Witsen in 1705 and later transformed into a copper engraving by Dutch artisans, is an exquisite representation of indigenous culture and spirituality. The shaman stands proudly amidst the serene beauty of the Siberian forest, adorned with antlers atop his head as symbols of power and connection to nature. In his hands, he holds a ritual drum, its rhythmic beats echoing through the trees. His attire consists of deerskin garments and fur accessories, blending seamlessly with his surroundings. A teepee made from fir tree branches serves as both shelter and sacred space for this spiritual leader. A loyal dog companion sits faithfully at his side, symbolizing companionship on their journey between worlds. The shaman's long beard speaks volumes about wisdom gained through years of communing with spirits. With every step he takes on the soft forest floor, he dances to transcendental rhythms that guide him deeper into trance-like states. This extraordinary engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into ancient rituals passed down through generations within the Tungus community. It is an homage to their rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive against all odds.
