and roses, a totem of appreciation for the animal

The cow skull is made into a tribute for the well-appreciated animal who had played its significant role. It is hung on their walls and brought to sacred ceremonies to pay homage to what was. It is also etched in stylish arrangements so as to bring a new kind of beauty to the former emblem of death. To O’Keeffe, such bones represented the desert’s enduring beauty and the strength of the American spirit.
