@Ravenscry and @chicfarmer. Wonderful to see your “cousin” thunderbolt knifewings. These are a new form to me…but they are very cool!
Back in 2021, there was a discussion about these guys, attributing them to Eskiesosie:
In that thread, one Forum contributor, had an interesting thought:
“I think this could be a Snake Dancer kachina rather than a Knifewing. It has the snake on the front and I am wondering if the “wings” are really to represent rainclouds. I also think if it was a Knifewing it would have a flared tail.”
Who knows what the artist had in mind with the snake and thunderbolts, but this is an interesting thought.
