Historical Note: The Hero Twins. The figures are identified by Hopi men as the Twin War Gods. These heroes are the protectors of the earth who defend against misdeeds and bad happenings. The border designs of this painting were thought by some Hopis to have meaning as symbols of the four world directions, the turning axis of the whole world, or the balancing of top and bottom (this world and the underworld). Some thought the center rectangle was a blanket or a shield (Kabotie 1982;45-46) Mini Shadow Box version. Great to give as a gift or collect the complete series for a beautiful wall decor collection. Mini Series Shadow Box comes in single or multi bowl displays. |
