Item Description
Signed in 1972 by Artist James Joe from Shiprock, NM, this vintage sand painting uses natural pigments to mark out the 4 frogs/ water creatures, as well as the figures of Sun and Moon around a center of blue water.
"James Joe was among the first Navajo artists to transform sand painting into a contemporary medium by using glue to fix the sand to boards. A medicine man, or hatathli, James Joe also helped set the parameters for what was acceptable when it came to turning a sacred healing art into a fine art. "-- Indian Country Today, 2018
