In preparation for an enemy attack that could come soon, this Native American tribe turns to the spirit world for help. The war horses are painted and saddled with ceremonial blankets, and a fervent appeal is made to the horse spirit.
Horses are prized possessions of the plains Indians, symbols of status and power. These impassioned men arc hoping the horse spirit will share its strength and bravery with them. As two of the men shake rattles and begin their dance, and the shaman and others paint sacred symbols on the horse, the spirits of a warrior and his pony gradually appear in the hazy twilight sky above.
In "The Painted Horse," the sixth plate in his Sacred Circle collection, artist Kirk Randle depicts this important ritual in meticulous detail. His masterful use of color and the effects of light convey the beauty and mystery of this ancient ceremony.
When the spirits convey the prayers of the dancers to the Great Spirit, the Sacred Circle will be complete. With this dramatic sixth issue, Kirk Randle continues his magnificent Sacred Circle series. An historic treasure!
The creation of the tine 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.
