If y’all have never seen the mounds at Castalian Springs I highly recommend. Pretty much you can only drive by at most times of the years. I live nearby and see them almost everyday. Makes me proud of my native heritage
The so called Mace in his left hand is a Maize Glyph. The head in his right hand is the Maize God being retrieved from Underworld. The upside down teardrop shape at his waste is a Mica Mirror associated with Ehecatle the Wind God.
It’s interesting to see how many cultures from the pacific thru the America’s used shells similar to this. And how similar the human figure on this shell is to native art further south and southwest.
Actually no. Middle Tennessee following the exit of the Mississippians was a communal hunting ground. Shared by the Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Yuchi, and Creek peoples. Only the Shawnee maintained a small presence in tjevarea ofbNashville at the time the French first visited the area in the earlyiest days of exploration.
Wonderful information. Enjoyed very much. Again,Thanks

Isn't the mace he's holding coincidentally called a morning star as well? Very interesting.
B. Jr. It's a ceremonial blade for severing a head
The Morning Star is a specifically European mace with a multi spiked metal head.Sometimes a chainlinked mace is mistakenly called a morningstar.

Oh, the Bilobed arrow in his hair is a Bean Glyph.
That was all Cherokee territories
Isn’t Cherokee now a term that’s used to cover a wide group of tribes....
