EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How the Chief is Buried" offers a glimpse into an ancient tribal ritual steeped in tradition and reverence. Engraved by Theodore de Bry in 1591, this coloured engraving showcases the ceremonial burial of a chief as depicted by Jacques Le Moyne. The scene takes us back to a time when Native American Indians inhabited the North American continent. The image portrays an elaborate funeral ceremony where the chief is laid to rest with some of his prized possessions. A drinking cup rests atop the burial mound, symbolizing his status and importance within the tribe. Surrounding the mound are arrows arranged in a circle, perhaps signifying protection or warding off evil spirits. Intriguingly, this solemn occasion calls for fasting and mourning that lasts for three days. It highlights not only the deep respect held for their fallen leader but also emphasizes their strong sense of community and unity during times of grief. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we gain insight into indigenous customs and rituals that have shaped their cultural identity over generations. This extraordinary artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and anthropological significance. Through this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported to another era, allowing us to appreciate and honor these ancient traditions that continue to resonate today.
