Hand painted on deer, this hide is an artistic adaptation of several documented rock art symbols from the southwest. Prehistoric rock art has been a fascinating subject for generations. The true meaning and purpose of ancient rock art is still unknown. However, many scholars have speculated they were representative of the typical human needs and desires. Such as, spiritual worship, hunting and gathering, defense, storytelling, record keeping, travel and the natural elements.
Hides are Hand Painted by Local Prescott Artist Laura Mountain. Laura feels it is important that the materials used are as genuine and natural as possible. Hand crafted arrowheads, shells, feathers, and various trade beads are hand sewn, wrapped, and tied with sinew. Ground earth pigments are mixed with natural bases and oils to produce her paints.
This painted hide is now part of a private collection. Orders can be taken from this original. Though every effort is made to keep the design as close as possible to the original, there will be slight variances in size, shape, color, and design placement. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks delivery.
