"SPIRIT SHIELDS AND SPEARS"

 

In many cultures,  shields and spears were used not only as defensive weapons, but also as decorative or ritual objects filled with symbolic meaning.   While some functioned as weapons, many,  however, were solely for ceremonial use, or displayed for prestige or status.  As in almost all indigenous cultures, animals play an important role in spiritual rituals. This work is a continuation of my exploration into the spiritual relationship between man and animals.

Additional pieces will be added frequently.
