EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Duho ceremonial seat, originating from the Taino people in the Republic of Haiti during the 15th century. Crafted entirely out of wood, this exquisite chair holds great cultural significance and is now preserved in Musee de l'Homme in Paris, France. The intricate carvings on this ceremonial seat reflect the artistic prowess and craftsmanship of the Haitian School. Its design is deeply rooted in Arawakan Indian traditions, representing an important aspect of Caribbean ethnic heritage. This particular artifact was found on the island of Hispaniola, which encompasses both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when indigenous tribes thrived on these lands. The Duho ceremonial seat served as a symbol of power and authority within their communities. It functioned as a throne for leaders during significant rituals and gatherings. Through its depiction here by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only its historical value but also its aesthetic beauty. This image allows us to marvel at every intricately carved detail that adorns this ancient wooden chair. Let us cherish such artifacts that connect us with our past and remind us of our shared human history across different continents and cultures.
