These little spirit men will dance their way straight into your heart! Fall back in time to another place in another world - to a rhythmic pounding beat, celebratory garbs, dancing feet and mesmerizing movements of tribal dancers as they endeavor to connect spiritually with a higher realm.  A culture where the shaman and medicine man are honored positions, connecting man with a greater power, trusted and revered for their insight and guidance.   How did the ancients look with their elaborate masks and fanciful headdresses?  Can you envision the beak-like noses and painted eyes? Can you hear the chanting? Who are the massive stone faces on Easter Island and how did they get there?  Are they symbolic of the native people? Were there elaborate celebrations with colorful costumes at the time the faces were placed? And where did they go...? These tiny cork miniatures bring to life the tribal celebrations and spiritual energy popular so long ago and still found around the world today.  Did the cold, stone faces from Easter Island at one time wear colorful garb and depart with their celebratory costumes?  And do we see these practices carried forward in time to Hawaiian warrior dancers, kachina and kokopelli characters, tribal shamans and further spin offs to socially taboo voodoo and witch doctor ceremonies? Inspiring pieces for collectors of The Ancients, Inca, Aztec, island or jungle cultures captured in a one-of-a-kind spirit character. Each piece is handmade with sparkling glass beading and takes 4-6 hours to complete. DESCRIPTION: Robed Spirit Seeker (Medicine Man Shaman Sculpture Series 5th Creation) This ceremonial Ancient might be dancing for a fruitful hunt or possibly a favorable upcoming battle.  Dressed in his "fur" robe with an underlying iridescent colored "cape" in the back, he was a most imposing figure with his ceremonial 'mask' and 'horns', pounding his feet to rhythmic drumbeat and chanting.  Wearing his "gold" layered dress-cloth and colorful decorative neckpiece he raises his arms skyward, offering incense of a secret composition from the tribal thurible held in his right hand. This one of a kind original cork miniature creation measures approximately 2-3/4 inches to the peak of the "fur" robe on his head and approximately 3-1/4 inches to the top of his "horns".  This Ancient's composition includes cork base, wispy black feather down, a medley of miscellaneous metal findings, glass beading and high gloss finish goldtone foiled ribbon trimming. This is for one figurine and certificate of authenticity.
