ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Artist’s Rendering: Mississippian Birdman (Choctaw Interpretation)
This stylized depiction of the Mississippian Birdman is inspired by engraved copper plates and stone carvings unearthed at ceremonial sites like Etowah and Spiro. The figure is shown in profile, mid-stride, with exaggerated musculature and angular features that emphasize motion and power.
Headdress and Face: The Birdman wears a towering headdress adorned with avian motifs and geometric patterns, signifying his divine or heroic status. His face is painted with ritual markings, and his eyes are sharp and focused, embodying supernatural vision.
Wings and Regalia: Large, feathered wings extend from his back, echoing the thunderbird or eagle symbolism central to Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (SECC) iconography. His body is wrapped in patterned bands and shell gorgets, and he wears a loincloth with stylized fringe and sacred symbols.
Weapons and Trophy: In his right hand, the Birdman wields a spiked war club—its shaft engraved with lightning motifs. His left hand grips a severed human head by the hair, its mouth agape and eyes closed, painted with ceremonial red and white markings. This trophy head, a recurring motif in Mississippian art, represents conquest, sacrifice, and spiritual potency.
Stylistic Notes: The rendering mimics the repoussé technique of copper plate art, with bold outlines, rhythmic symmetry, and flattened perspective. The figure’s posture and regalia reflect the trait lists defined by Waring and Holder in their foundational study of the SECC.
