Campfire Dead Fire Native American Platform Tradition Longhouse Mortuary
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, where we find ourselves immersed in the solemn atmosphere of a Carolina Native American mortuary. The image showcases a copper engraving that beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tradition. The scene unfolds within an interior space, specifically a longhouse, which served as a central gathering place for Native American communities. A campfire crackles at the center, casting flickering shadows on the platform where deceased individuals are laid to rest. This mortuary practice was deeply rooted in their culture and beliefs, serving as a way to honor and pay respects to their departed loved ones. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to appreciate both the artistic skill and historical significance of this piece. The Indian figures surrounding the fire appear somber yet reverent, creating an ambiance that is both haunting and serene. Granger Art on Demand has provided us with another remarkable glimpse into our past through this evocative print. It serves as a poignant reminder of how diverse cultures have shaped our world throughout history.
