Description
Sioux Artist Maxine Noel
Eagle’s Gift
Collapsible Black Umbrella & Case
NEW
“When one does the work of the Great Spirit, one receives an eagle's feather as an honor.” This collapsible umbrella designed by Sioux Artist Maxine Noel gives a beautiful depiction of Eagle’s Gift. When open, the umbrella has a 42” spread and depicts one of Noel’s famous drawings – Eagle’s Gift. It repeats the pattern of a Native man with hair and eagle feathers swirling around the black umbrella. It is Auto Folding with wooden handle and slips into a black fabric case with the Native and feathers on one side. When closed, it measures only 16 ½” including the black bulb handle.
Artist Ioyan Mani (To Walk Beyond) is Maxine Noel's Sioux name and reveals her gift. Maxine is Oglala Sioux, born on the Birdtail Reservation in Manitoba. The eldest of eleven children, she learned to draw among a loving family on a quiet reserve. In residential school she experienced the struggles of submersion of the native spirituality and culture, which brought strength and enrichment.
A self-taught artist, Maxine is skilled in many media. She seeks through the use of fluid images, flowing lines and subtle colors, to present essential characteristics of the Native people: their sensibilities, generosity and loving nature. Maxine has received honors and accolades for her work with Native cultures, and she speaks around the country on art and on social issues, assisting in bridging the gap between Native and non-Native, young and old.
This umbrella is brand new with tag in English and French; it would be a great gift for a special friend or to “gift” yourself.
