Mimbres Crossing: Painting by Laura Mountain on Caribou - LMH008C

Mimbres Crossing

Approx. Size: 45" x 50"

The ancient Mimbres culture inhabited Southeastern New Mexico for more than 1,000 years. They were mostly known for their pottery, which was intricately painted with complex graphic designs and animal figures.

Painted on Caribou, and embellished with turquoise and jet, this hide contains elements of the Mimbres' beautiful, artistic style.

Hides are Hand Painted by Local Prescott Artist Laura Mountain. Laura feels it is important that the materials used are as genuine and natural as possible. Hand crafted arrowheads, shells, feathers, and various trade beads are hand sewn, wrapped, and tied with sinew. Ground earth pigments are mixed with natural bases and oils to produce her paints.

This painted hide is now part of a private collection. Orders can be taken from this original. Though every effort is made to keep the design as close as possible to the original, there will be slight variances in size, shape, color, and design placement. Please allow 6 - 8 weeks delivery.
