Gagiyiew Maril

Story: This print shows the energy and force of the Gagai (bow) when it is pulled. It was once believed that when a weapon like the Gagai was used to kill many people in battle, the spirits of those killed would remain with the weapon, becoming a part of it. In this print I show the spirits of all the different victims taken by the arrows. The scarification on the warriors also indicated their fighting ability, showing their experience as a headhunter. At times he may communicate with the spirits of the Gagai to guide him in battle.
