Zig Zag Jingles, 48 x 30 x 7/8 Acrylic on Canvas, By Leana Asher
This vibrant painting of jingles close up are full of life and detail of a jingle dress dancer.
Jingle Dress is also called a Prayer Dress. There are differences in the origins of the dress among the tribes. The dress was seen in a dream, as an object to bring healing to afflicted people. It comes from the Northern Tribe Ojibewe or Chippewa, along the Canadian border.
A Medicine Man’s Granddaughter became very ill one day. In a dream, his spirit guides told him to make a Jingle dress for her and have her dance in it. This, he was told would heal her. When the outfit was finished, the tribe assembled for a dance. On her first time around, the illness would not permit her to dance and she was carried. As time went on she was soon dancing in the circle. For more information click this link
