- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $2500**
Native American, southwestern United States, Pueblo Indians, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A finely preserved example of a dance kilt formed from hand-tanned deerskin and painted with colorful pigment to create the visually captivating iconography. Central to the kilt is the serpentine Avanyu with a curved horn and barbed tongue above a register of red and black spots. Above the Avanyu are red and blue clouds with black 'rain' beneath and lightning bolts on either side. A blue crescent moon and squinting face are on opposite ends of a line of X's representative of warriors in defensive stances. The lower periphery is cut to form thin fringe strips painted with red pigment, and two straps on either side allow the wearer to secure it to their waist. The Avanyu is representative of lightning, so this kilt was perhaps worn for dances to pray for rain and garner protection from lightning and other malevolent meteorological phenomena. Size: 46.75" L x 31" W (118.7 cm x 78.7 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection
