Floridian Sun Offering Ritual, 1758: Native American Religious Ceremony
About the Item
An antique print depicting a cultural practice in Florida. The German title at the bottom of this print reads:
"Opfer, welches die Floridaner der Sonne mit einem Hirsche bringen,"
which translates to: "Offering that the Floridians bring to the Sun with a Deer."
This etching depicts a ritual scene where a group of Native Americans from Florida is offering a deer to the sun, as part of a ceremonial act. The people are shown raising their arms towards the sky, with the sun's rays shining down, suggesting a religious or spiritual ceremony focused on sun worship. The deer, a significant offering, is held up by one of the figures, emphasizing its importance in the ritual.
This print is likely from the "Allgemeine Historie der Reisen zu Wasser und Lande," published in the 18th century, which documented various cultural practices observed during travels. Similar to the previous print, it is an engraving or etching, notable for its detailed depiction of the cultural practices of the Native American tribes in Florida.
