The tale is told of a time when the Spirits Under Earth coveted the fertile green lands, and they rose up in war against the Spirits of Sky and their earthly creations. This was the first war, a titanic struggle that thrust mountains from the bedrock, drained seas from their beds, and whipped storms unceasingly across a raging black sky.
A brave man named Bear Heart brought the People together as allies to the Great Spirits. At first the Spirits laughed, for their strength was as the mouse against the lion. But the Spirits were soon awed by the People's fierce grit and unyielding fire against the foe as they heroically fought to protect their beloved Earth.
The Great Spirits won, and they honored the People and Bear Heart, for they fought as the Mother Bear defending her cub. Bear Heart was the first warrior brave, vowing that the mightiest, most skilled men would guard and defend the Earth forever more.
With bold depth, panoramic dimension and scintillating colors. acclaimed artist Russ Docken creates this masterful portrait of a legendary Native American warrior in "The Defender."
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
