Smoking pots
Smoking Shaman
The shaman is above all a connecting figure, bridging several worlds for his people, traveling between this world, the underworld, and the heavens.
He transforms himself into an animal and talks with ghosts, the dead, the deities, the ancestors. He dies and revives. He brings back knowledge from the shadow realm, thus linking his people to the spirits and places which were once mythically accessible to all!
This is a replica of one of the clay pots that I painted and cut out of wood and christened into the present from the far distant past. It is an authentic replica of a ceramic pot found in the Casas Grandes region of Mexico, Southern New Mexico, SE Arizona and/or West Texas. So far, I have only painted 2, same version, but there are other styles and just as intriguing! Enjoy.
