The earliest known swastika was seen about 10,000 years ago. The intricate pattern of joined swastikas was found on a late paleolithic figurine of a bird, carved from mammoth ivory, found in Mezine, Ukraine. The word’swastika’ derives from an Asian Indian Sanskrit word, in which the meaning of the swastika stands for universal welfare. “Swasti” means well-being of one and all and “ka” means symbol. The swastika is one of the most ancient of all symbols and used as a symbol for peace, life and good luck. In the Western world, it was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck until the 1930s, when it was hijacked by the German Aryan party. I find the taking of an Indian symbol despicable, and chose not to mention their name. The swastika motif is found in some traditional Native American art and iconography. Historically, the design has been found in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. It is also widely used by a number of southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo, and plains nations such as the Dakota. The Aryan icon is an inverted version of the traditional American Indian symbol, which usually features the arms pointing counterclockwise. Before the 1930s, the symbol for the 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army was a red diamond with a yellow swastika, a tribute to the large Native American population in the southwestern United States. It was later replaced with a thunderbird symbol. The swastika is a Navajo symbol for good luck, also translated to whirling log. The symbol was used on state road signs in Arizona. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the swastika symbol became established in Western cultures, especially with the Navajo culture, as a good luck or good fortune symbol, and was used in Native healing ceremonies. The Navajos incorporated the swastika into their rugs, jewelry, and art. Arizona’s indigenous Pima and Maricopa people wove them into their baskets and painted them onto their pots. The swastika’s meaning does seem to be similar across cultures, generally denoting abundance and prosperity and referring to the four cardinal directions.

Extremely Rare Antique 1930’s WPA Museum Extension Project Diorama – Making Pottery – Cliff Dwellers. The diorama measures 13″ x 10″ x 8 3/4 and is in nicely maintained condition with the label attached and legible. Hinges are solid and function well. Both pieces of glass are intact. Overall a wonderful example of early WPA artwork. In the early 1930’s, during the great depression, President Roosevelt enacted the “New Deal Program”. One of the programs was the Works Progress Administration (WPA) (also: Work Projects Administration). The program employed thousands of out of work jobseekers to carry out public works projects. Many artists & artisans were employed in the creation of exhibitions for schools. These exhibitions, like this diorama, are very fragile & therefore many do not exist today. The box is made of wood & painted black. The front window & the inner roof of the box are glass. The top of the diorama has a hinged lid, which is held up by a wooden rod, which allows light to enter the top of this diorama. The top inner glass has one corner cut out to accommodate this wooden rod to drop down out of the way.
