They represented a range of ancestral and protective spirit figures and were regularly presented, as here, in heraldically composed, frontally displayed posture flanked and surmounted by further bird and reptilian supporting spirits. The bright color, with its overlay of smaller-sized linear and dotted patterning, gave a shimmering brilliance to the dimly-lit interior.<BR>There is overall pigment flaking, the proper right top bird is missing the tip of the beak, and old breaks at several jointures have been reglued.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR>From an Arkansas estate; collected in 1947<BR>TAD Tribal Art and Design (Taylor A.
