All greetings! I want to show you the new finished figure for the project "AuthorSculpt".
" The Sacred Pipe "
Material: Magic Sculpt.
The size: 75 mm.


This autobiographical narration about a life and religions western Sioux.
"Black Elk speak" - Being the Life Story of Holy Man of the oglala Sioux as told through John G. Neihard (Flaming Rainbow) 1971.
The Black Elk was Wichasha Wakan (the sacred person).
Besides he had the cousin of the Crazy Horse and well knew the great leader.

"... You See - I fill this sacred tube a willow bark but before we shall light up her, you should understand as the tube is arranged, and that it means.
Four tapes hanging down with a mouthpiece, designate four sides of light. The black tape is the West where spirits of a thunder sending rains live.
The white tape - the north, whence comes a white cleaning wind. Red means the east, light where the morning star giving lives whence arises
To people wisdom. A yellow tape - the south, whence there come summer and life-giving forces of growth.
But spirits of four sides of light actually only one Spirit, and this eagle feather designates it.
From for that the tube designates all these things, and still that that is not given to the person to understand the mind - from for it it is sacred.
....
I kindle a tube and after I shall raise it to all four forces which together make one Force, m with you we shall light up her.
"... Great Spirit, my forefather. All alive essences of the ground are uniform. All of us were born weak and defenceless. Look in uncountable persons of children of and their children.
Let they will find force to resist to storms and can pass true road by day of the rest. Hear me! My pray, my voice it is weak but fair.
Truly so!

Forgive for the long introduction, but this fragment will give representation about that that I tried to reproduce in the miniature.

Sergey: I am seriously impressed, not only by your miniature but by your research into what even for immigrant Americans is an alien culture. Alas, I have found few Americans familiar with Baba-Yaga!
 
I thank all !
I hope to see this figure in painting .
Also I recommend to read this interesting book " Black Elk speaks ", in it is a lot of descriptions of various religious rituals Sioux.

And also has received the letter from my colleague, he has the big humour ;)
" Hi Sergey.... You break the international law of public health services!
Your photos should contain the prevention {warning} ! :) ... "
(it is a joke).

Yours faithfully.
