Featured in this lot is a a signed and numbered limited edition print by James Bama of a pre-Columbian Indian with an Atlatl released in 1974. In Wyoming, a group of young Indians have set up a working model of a pre-Columbian village in order to teach the primitive crafts of survival. This painting of a young man holding an atlatl (pronounced at'latl) is one example. The atlatl is a device dating back to man's Paleolithic Age. It was used by the hunter to enable him to attain greater speed when throwing his spear – a matter that could result in the difference between life and death for him and his tribe. To use it, the hunter fit the notched end of his spear into the hook of the atlatl and swung both back and then forward over his heard, releasing only the spear to make contact with the prey that would provide food, clothing, shelter, tools and utensils. This piece is signed "Bama", dated 1974 and is number 1480 out of 1500. The piece is in good condition with no signs of damage. The frame is sturdy and features a repeating diamond pattern throughout the whole frame. The piece measures 23 1/4" L 27" W.
