Native American SPIRIT STICK " FROM THE HEART OF IDAHO " - (Cindy Jo Popejoy, 1998)
Item History & Price
The tag on this mesmerizing native american mask says it all..... "The spirit stick is a symbol of a better time, when the people put medicine power into what they carved. The mask represents a shield, protecting us through our journey. May the Sunrise up and your Spirit Soar."
The eyes are incredible....as if they are looking directly into the viewer's eyes! Beautiful piece, and one of artist Cindy Jo Popejoy's first spirit sticks. Fur and feathers are lovel...y and so soft.
From Cindy Jo's "Spirit of the Heart" website:"For more than thirty years, I have immersed myself in the study and creation of Native American art. My love for the narrative beauty of Native American culture, as well as a desire to honor my Cherokee heritage, has driven me to understand and represent the character, strength, and honor of Native American people. I am a self-taught artist, competent in ceramic, clay, bronze, and other mixed media, and I am meticulous in researching and understanding the subject matter I represent with each of my pieces. My intent is always to make my art speak to my audience. If eyes convey emotion, posture portrays movement, and detail portrays a story, then I know my pieces are conveying the stories I wish to tell with each one."
