The Stone People
14inch Red Deer Drum
£16o
Stone People are the Ancient Ones of this planet, containing the knowledge of this world and its changes, since time began. To learn from them, we must listen closely.
Many Indigenous people including those of Australia , America and The Sámi, understand stones to have deep knowledge, holding memory and have spirit and are alive.
The Stone People are the record keepers on Mother Earth. It is their mission as Teachers to hold energy and then give knowledge regarding the history of our planet.
The two red figures are based on Rock art from Tanum, Sweden. Known as the the Holy Bride and Groom or the Bridal Couple. The carvings were made between 1000-500 BC.
The black figure is from Petroglyphs Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. These sacred stone is generally believed to have been carved by the Algonkian people between 900 and 1400 CE. Today, the First Nations people of Ontario call the carvings Kinomagewapkong, meaning "the rocks that teach" or "the Teaching Rocks"

What best to enhance a reindeer drum with but the images from its natural habitat. It seemed right to add the figures from the Sámi culture .
