Frithjof Schuon Archive

In the book The Feathered Sun (World Wisdom, 1990), this painting is reproduced on page 103. It was painted in 1965. In the foreground, at the bottom of the painting, are a shield on a stand, a painted buffalo skull, and a fire. The clothing of the chief’s wife is magnificently decorated with natural colors and symbols, just as is the tipi in front of which she stands.
