Title
In the Shadows of Sleeping Giant Mountain II
Artist
Maria Rova
Medium
Painting - Dyes And Resist On Silk
Description
One in a series of five silk paintings featuring the culture and wildlife of Fiji. The rugged skyline of the Sleeping Giant Mountains we see from our home runs through each painting.
This one features a sacred moment in traditional Fijian ceremonies: the presenting of a whale's tooth as the ultimate symbol of respect. Whale's teeth feature in communal rituals that celebrate many of life's significant moments: home-comings, weddings, births, funerals, important business deals, and reconciliation ceremonies.
