Resolute Strength, Native American warrior puzzle
The image in this puzzle comes from a James Ayers original painting, Resolute Strength (2006, Blackfoot tribe). The warrior shown in Resolute Strength is wearing white paint along his hairline to signify purity of spirit. This was a common facepaint configuration, sometimes also accompanied by additional paint on the cheeks. He carries a spear and shield; his shield is draped along the perimeter with red trade cloth. Such an adornment would also likely include trailers of cloth and feathers that would float in the wind.
