Judy Sprague Fine Art

The rich history and culture of the indigenous people of North America including their beliefs, rituals, traditions and ceremonies are depicted here in my pastel painting of a ceremonial rattle, pottery, antler pipe, & ceremonial tomahawk created in soft pastel on archival paper and custom framed to 18x23. The artifact I found most interesting is the antler pipe. These pipes of the indigenous peoples are traditionally used to offer prayers in a religious ceremony, to make a ceremonial commitment, or to seal a covenant or treaty.
