- Lot Description
Native American, Southwest, New Mexico, Cochiti Pueblo, ca. early to mid 20th century. Three handmade and finely painted gourd rattles for ceremonial dances and ritualistic use. The rattles are comprised of a wood handle with a leather cord for suspension. The gourd is surmounted atop the handle, and the handle passes through the gourd with a small tip protruding at the top to hold the gourd in place. Each rattle is painted with a white ground and vibrant red, orange, yellow, teal, and black pigments that create a stylized program. Two have a flattened profile and are similarly painted with a corn stalk on the verso and a sun-face circular motif on the front. The globular rattle contains four triangular panels with mono (clay figure) faces. All three rattles contain loose seeds that create the sound which is associated with falling rain. Size of largest: 11.5" L x 5.5" W (29.2 cm x 14 cm)
The Pueblo venerated the sun, rain, and changing of seasons that represented harvest, abundance, and stability for their communities. Prayers, dances, and rituals were preformed to ensure the right amounts of rainfall and sunlight for bountiful crops. The sun-face symbolizes the sacred Sun Father who sustains life and growth and is represented as a stylized face with the forehead divided into two sections that represent sunrise and sunset.
