Counting Coup On FEMA

My sister and brother-in-law just gifted this multi-media sculpture to add warmth to the new house. Its credentials are enroute so I don't know yet who created it or their background. It might have been the work of someone at the Picuris Pueblo. Tiwa. People traditionally big on body art.

If this is the case then the white handprint on the warrior's face might signify a victory imbuing its wearer with spiritual purity and lasting peace earned through an act of courage, possibly as result of counting coup by touching or defeating their enemy and living to tell of it.

A fitting gift after having counted coup on the vile beast FEMA and survived that.
