Navajo Memory Aid Painting on Fabric
Item Details
Description
Approximately 40 years old. As part of the healing process, the Medicine Man would perform sand painting, creating highly sophisticated design patterns with a variety of coloured sand. Since the potency of sand drawing depended on the quality of its execution, mistakes in the accuracy of the detail could inflict serious harm on the patient. In preparation for the chants and in order to help apprentices internalize these intricate design patterns, Medicine Men would often create memory aids on buckskin, fabric scraps and later on paper. Size: 27” x 27” framed
