The Mapuche shamans called Machi have ritual objects to carry out the ceremony for each medical treatment
or pleading ritual.
The Mapuche developed the art of stone and wood sculpture with the intention of establishing
communication between Ngünechen (the deity that governs the world) and human beings.
The new shaman provides her- or himself with a wooden pole called Kemukemu.
This pole is transformed into a sacred Rewe (clean and pure space) when she or he is initiated into the realm of a devoted
Machi in a ritual called Ngeykurewen.
The first Rewe of a Machi has four steps carved into its front, representing the four main sacred spaces.

http://www.csulb.edu/~csnider/dickinson.shamanism.html
These steps end at the top of the pole with a carved head representing the human spirits involved in the pleading ceremony.
The Rewe is placed to the right side in front of the Machi’s home.
The Rewe is a means of transportation used by the Machi to reach Wenu Mapu—or the blue space above, where the deities
live—to maintain communication with the sacred spirits.
With time, the Machi acquires new power and skills to appeal for the blessings of Ngünechen and fight against the evil
spirits.
Each new spiritual power merits a new sacred step carved into the pole. This eight-step Rewe seems to have belonged to an
experienced, accomplished Machi with sufficient knowledge and strength to propitiate communication with Ngünechen.
This necessary spiritual mediation allows her or him to face the strongest evil spirits and bring back the right
equilibrium for the community in times of danger or calamity.

Nepalese shaman oral texts
Volume 55 di Harvard oriental series
Gregory G. Maskarinec
Dept. of Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Harvard University, 1998
Nepalese Shaman Oral Texts is a bilingual (Nepali and English) critical edition of three complete, representative
repertoires of shaman texts collected over the past twenty years in Jajarkot District, Western Nepal. Throughout
that area, shamans continue to fulfill important therapeutic roles, diagnosing problems, treating afflictions,
and restoring order and balance to the lives of their clients and their communities.
Each of these efforts incorporates extensive, meticulously memorized oral texts, materials that not only clarify
symptoms and causes but also detail the proper ways to conduct rituals. These texts preserve the knowledge necessary
to act as a shaman, and confirm a social world that demands continuous intervention by shamans.
This volume, the first of its kind, includes both publicly chanted recitals and privately whispered spells of the area's
three leading shamans, annotated with extensive notes. Containing over 250 texts, this work endeavors to provide a
comprehensive documentation of a non-Western healing system through the material that sustains and preserves that
tradition, demonstrating that shaman texts remain thoroughly meaningful.

-HIMALAYAN ARTS, THE CATALOGUES:
A MASQUE DECOUVERT
REGARDS SUR L'ART PRIMITIF DE L'HIMALAYA
MARC PETIT 1995 STOCK/ALDINES
"Les formes ont plus mémoire que le hommes. Ce qui surgit là, dans tous ces visages silencieux, graves ou hilares, dessine le relief d'un continent submergé: la vieille Asie des chamanes et des cultes de possession.
Face aux formules codifiées des classicismes indien et tibétain, l'art primitif de l'Himalaya affirme sa singularité, sa puissance d'invention et son humour, sa poésie et sa force expressive. "
![GetAttachment[1]](http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/137887/dyn010_original_480_621_pjpeg__0d1b9b833c86037bc4a032a43b63d78b.jpg)

Marc Petit is a collector of primitive arts for more than 30 years, this catalogue, in which was edited a wide selection of his masks collection, played in the mid of the 90's a pivotal role to make known the primal arts of the people of Himalaya to a large number of tribal arts lovers.
The book was awarded with the Grand Prix du Livre des Arts of the Société des Gens de Lettres.
Marc Petit donated in 2003 25 Nepalese masks of his collection to the Musée du Quai Branly of Paris; five of these items are already exhibited in the permanent collections of the Museum in the Asian section.
Several of his masks will be showcased in the exhibition: IN THE WHITE OF THE EYES, HIMALAYAN MASKS / DANS LE BLANC DES YEUX, MASQUES HIMALAYA , which will be held at the Museum du Quay Branly from 9 November 2010 to 30 January 2011.

The SOAS archive of Professor Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) includes photographs, cine film and written materials.
It reflects his fifty years of scholarship.
It is especially valuable because it documents these cultures before many changed rapidly with the advent of external civil administration after the mid-twentieth century.

- ART OF THE HIMALAYS: THE CATALOGUES
-ENIGMAS DE LA MONTANAS, MASCARAS TRIBALES DEL HIMALAYA.
ENIGMES DES MONTAGNES, MASQUES TRIBAUX DE L'HIMALAYA.

The late Gustavo Gili was a friend and a passionate collector of Himalayan masks of Barcelona, in this catalogue, curated by Francois Pannier was edited a part of his collection.
First to collect Himalan art Gustavo Gili put toghether an important and selected collection devoted to the traditional arts of Africa.
The passion for the masks of the Himalayas begun in Gustavo after to have bought his first piece, the mask n1 of the catalogue, a sort of Frankestein item displaying a lot of ancient restaurations.
This remarkable piece, was also edited in the 1989 pivotal catalogue curated by Francois Pannier and Stephane Mangin: Masques de l'Himalaya. Du primitif au classique (at that time the mask was in another private collection of Barcelona) and exhibited in the 1991 exhibition at Musee de la Castre of Cannes.
Enigmas de la Montanas is a catalogue that reflects the sophisticate taste of Gustavo, an important catalogue to understand the still 'hidden and unknown' arts of the Himalayas.

-KHENIS, GHOST EATERS FIGURE IN KAGBENI VILLAGE, NEPAL.
Kagbeni is a fortified two gates medioeval village located in a strategic place at the cofluence of two river valleys, situated in a fertile area.
During the 19th century the human guards of the gates become superfluous and were replaced with two human figure moulded from clay each named KHENIS or Ghost Eaters, primitive iconographic subjects probably remanants of the ancient BON religion.

Catalogo storico per le arti popolari della regione Himalayana, accanto a manufatti cd classici furono incluse anche maschere di carattere animistico.
-HIMALAYAN ARCHAIC FIGURE: ETHNOFLORENCE AND INDIPENDENT POINT OF VIEW




Allora come oggi scarsamente recensite, le arti tradizionali della vasta area himalayana sono latrici di un variegato , ricchissimo e originale repertorio iconografico, frutto della sincretica fusione di stilemi classici e popolari.
Ogni oggetto sembra essere in tal senso latore di una memoria ancestrale che di volta in volta memorizza, interpreta e rielabora dettagli stilistici dal carattere spesso antinomico, così da risultare, anche all'osservatore più attento, autentici 'rebus' figurativi, nei quali la presenza di simbologie archetipicihe universali non è infrequente.
Queste considerazioni non sono però del tutto valide per la statuaria arcaico-animistica dell'Ovest Nepal.
Queste sculture costituiscono la vitale , universale e cristallizzata archetipica testimonianza di culti e credenze popolari che affondano le proprie radici in un remoto passato ormai da noi dimenticato ma certamente, un tempo, comune al sentire di tutti gli uomini.
Sono antecedenti alla differenziazione ed evoluzione degli stili 'locali', sono opposte alla cd arte tribale, qualcosa che attiene ad una specifica e locale geolocalizzazione temporale di stili ed iconografie.
Impermeabili alle influenze 'stilistiche' delle religioni major della regione, queste figure riassumono in sè un ricco ed unico repertorio di credenze sempre più prossimo al collasso.
Uno scientifico e sistematico field work è oggi disperatamente urgente.
Nell'attesa Ethnoflorence ha intrapreso una mappatura dell'area ed uno studio iconografico-comparativo dei manufatti

-THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK
THE ANCIENT ARCHETIPYC ICONOGRAPHY OF THE RITUAL WEAPONS AND ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURES FROM UTTAR PRADESH.

hese anthropomorphic figures, harpoons, ax blades (celts) and anntennae swords were cast and hammered from unalloyed copper.
They may be dated 1500 to 1000 bc.
Given that pure copper is a relatively soft metal and most of the objects ahow little or no signs of wear, it seems likely that their function was largely dedicatory.
Hoards of such objects have been found across north India, the greatest concentration being in Uttar Pradesh.
The findspots suggest they were ritually deposited in rivers or marshes, though several related antennae swords were recovered in late Indus Valley civilization (ca. 1500 b.c.) burials at Sanauli.

AUTRES MAITRES DE L'INDE
CREATIONS CONTEMPORAINES DES ADIVASI,
MUSEE DU QUAI BRANLY PARIS

Scarsamente recensito negli anni della sua scomparsa, il mondo artistico degli Adivasi è oggi rappresentato nella mostra temporanea al Museo du Qui Branly di Parigi in undici sezioni, nelle quali il Curatore ha cercato di rappresentare altrettanti microcosmi di questa realtà ormai perduta.
Il confronto iconografico tra il passato ed il presente è tuttavia in alcuni casi impietoso.
Il visitatore è per esempio accolto nella sua visita da alcuni cavalli in terracotta, opere di artigianato odierno che poco o niente hanno a che fare con l'antica tradizione iconografica degli 'holy potters' del Tamil Nadu.
Manufatti moderni che testimoniano un regresso estetico che dalla sublime arte dei Grama Devatas o Village Gods of South India retrocede a mere rappresentazioni artigianali che niente hanno a che fare con le prime.
Stella Kramrisch non le avrebbe di certo inserite nella sua epica esibisione del 1968, Unknown India Ritual Art in Tribe and Village di Philadelphia.
Un Santal Banam, proveniente da una anonima collezione indiana, e pubblicato nel PDF di presentazione della mostra, oltre ad essere evidentemente nuovo, presenta uno scollamento sostanziale con la tipica iconografia ed estetica di questa popolazione.
Una Mostra di manufatti non soltanto nuovi, dunque, ma in molti casi anche lontani dalle originali tradizioni dei popoli presi in considerazione.
AUTRES MAITRES DE L'INDE CREATIONS CONTEMPORAINES DES ADIVASI, MUSEE DU QUAI BRANLY PARIS, du mardi 30 Mars au Dimanche 18 Juillet 2010, Commissaire General of the Exhibition Mr JYOTINDRA JAIN.
Section 1 : LES REPRESENTATIONS DE L'INDE ADIVASI
Cette section illustre la situation tribale en Inde à l’époque coloniale, postcoloniale et contemporaine en présentant des textes, cartes et photographies.

Section 2: LES PEUPLES
L’exposition présente onze univers correspondant chacun à un peuple différent ; chacun de ces peuples est caractérisé par ses productions matérielles rituelles et artistiques.
- Les sculptures Bhuta, Karnataka
-Bas-reliefs architecturaux : les femmes artistes de Chattisgarh
-Andaman et Nicobar, sud-est de l'Inde
-Pièces artisanales Ayyanar : sculptures en terre cuite, Tamil Nadu
-Tombeau de Molela : dieux d’argile, Rajasthan
