Four 19th C. Navajo Wood & Hide Bullroarers

Item Details

Description

Native American, Southwestern United States, Navajo tribe, ca. 19th century CE. A set our four wood and rawhide devices known as bullroarers, which function in a ritualistic context as musical instruments to communicate with deities and promote healing. All four have a similar profile with a pointed tip and rounded top with a perforation drilled through one end for the lengthy rawhide cord. The wood surface is then coated with a black pitch. The two bullroarers that are nearly all black have three small slivers of turquoise stone inlaid near the tips. The Navajo name for the bullroarer is tsin di'ni which means groaning sticks due to the humming sound they make when swung. The Navajo favored pieces that were carved from pine trees that have been struck by lightning to lend power to the instruments. The medicine man would swing the bullroarers in a circle to "slice" through the air to create a portal for benevolent spirits to enter to promote healing and drive out evil spirits. Size of largest black piece: 6.375" L x 1.5" W (16.2 cm x 3.8 cm)

Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired in 2017; ex-Dick Hewlitt collection, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
