Produktbeschreibung

Near Berryville, Virginia, a beautiful tablet-like stone has been found by the Shenandoah River. On its brown-orange patina, peck-marked shapes reveal a crystalline heartstone and intriguing designs. While a varying opinions have been offered by experts on the nature of the designs, the author takes you on a tour so you can make your own judgement. His findings reveal aesthetic proportions and intriguing gestalts which resonate with Eastern Woodland cosmology of early America. These include archetypes of the avian-man, skeletal and twinned shaman, earth mother, and a cosmology exhibiting a three-layered and four-cornered world. With an abundance of imagery supported by commentary, this detailed exploration illustrates the Indigenous view of the universe, and one that can enrich our lives.
