On the Cover
A portrayal of a Native American engaged in the crafting of the famous
“Big Boy Pipe” statue. This artwork is part of the Mississippian Period
display at The Museum of Native American History in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The museum has a full size cast of the statue on display that is on loan
from the University of Arkansas. This portrayal is known as “The Resting
Warrior” and currently is thought to be the mythical figure “Morning
Star”. It is considered to be one of the great masterpieces of prehistoric
North American craftsmanship and was discovered in the chamber at Spiro
Mound in 1935. Originally created as a statue, it was later drilled and made into a pipe
for ritual smoking. On the right is a Caddo Keno Trailed style pottery vessel who incised artwork incorporates a face into
its design. Artwork by Kelly Green |
