| SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF trompe l'oeil FROM THE PREHISTORIC AMERICAN SOUTHWEST AS FIRST NOTICED BY Paul T. Kay |
| Another PTK 1st!!? Posted July 11, 2006 From Pottery Mound you will see a mural painting of a shield depicting perhaps turkey feathers that I noticed rendered in trompe l'oeil---the 1st, the only mural in this style in the prehistoric SW-USA and perhaps the prehistoric western hemisphere (I'm not sure here without seeing every one, but haven't seen one yet). The field drawings didn't capture it, BUT the field photos do...see attached below A, B and C D IS A FULL VIEW OF THE FIELD DRAWINGS The Sikyatki pot with hand having 'bird-like' 3D on wrist as seen in my DATURA pdf page 22 as well as the #75786-same page- are the 1st and 2nd such examples noticed in the archaeological record-of trompe l'oeil on ceramics to the best of my knowledge...'tho there may be some in meso-America??. E I am submitting a paper to discuss the above as this is significant in art (ceramic) history etc. |
