EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Spider motif gorget, originating from Dallas and dating back to the years 1300-1500. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Mississippian culture, this marine shell artifact measures approximately 10 cm in diameter. Now held within a private collection, it is beautifully captured in this image by photographer Dirk Bakker. The intricately carved seashell features exquisite pierced details that highlight the craftsmanship of its creators. Representing an important piece of jewelry within Native American culture during the Woodland period, this round gorget boasts a stylized spider design that is both decorative and ornamental. The woodland-inspired decoration on this artifact transports us back to ancient times when such pieces held significant cultural value. The delicate roundel shape adds to its overall charm and elegance. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of North America's indigenous peoples. Dirk Bakker's photograph expertly captures every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this pre-Columbian treasure. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are reminded of our connection with past civilizations and their mastery in creating timeless works of art.
