Charlie, a little more info would be nice. What are the dimensions, finish, coloring, pyro or pen, etc?

[charlie knighton]

3 1/2 h X 5 wide
velvit oil
pyro on the outside, arcylic air brushed inside, then touched up with hand-held brush
the pyro forms are concentric rings (3) and the straight lines could be lighting (big medicine) ie energy or sacred mountains
both images are seen in pottery, textiles, rock art
Thrupass is straight out of my dictionary

Charlie I like it. I went back and looked at it a couple times. Can't say I understand it but I like the combination.

thanks Steve and Fred for looking and commenting

the concentric rings are usually found in caves but can be found elsewhere. the rings mark a spot that a shaman passed thru. other shamans test their power and see if they can pass thru at these points. the brown and blue are dominet colors of the west, and can depict the different dimensions that are believed to be parallel to each other, that's enough to chew on for now
