To Pray For Rain Artie Yellowhorse 1955 - A plein airAcrylic, 36" x 36" In the arid lands of our Southwest pueblos, ceremonial concentration is on life giving rain. When successful, the answer results in corn, essential to physical and spiritual sustenance. A magnificent Kachina figure, carrier of prayers to be borne on feathers, dances on this very large old storage jar. The ancient painted two piece headdress and gourd rattle echo that messengers proper attire to begin the somber ceremony.
