Description
Introducing the Star Spirits collection by C.7 Design Studio, showcasing digital paintings of various deities based on masks and drawings by indigenous peoples and tribes from all over the world. Here you will find framed and wrapped/stretched canvas fine art prints, featuring composition Star Spirits - Cosmic Spirit of Dan.
This deity was described by Punu, Lumbo and various other ethnic groups in Gabon. White face Spirit Maiden represents female guardian spirit in the initiation of young girls, funerary rites, ancestor cults, and also in dances of the full moon. The refined features and elaborate coiffure of the Puno masks mirror the appearance of tribal women. Social cohesion is ensured by the Mukudji society, whose primary role is to subjugate harmful forest spirits. The white pigment on masks alludes to the anti-witchcraft powers of this group. The Puno make only masks of women, with elaborate hairstyles, features which appear somewhat Asian, and white kaolin pigments. They are worn by Mukudji initiates, who are often on stilts. They are thought to represent ancestor's faces.
