This image shows a deer skin mantle that was believed to have been presented by Chief Powhatan to Captain Christopher Newport of the Virginia Company of London during a disastrous coronation ceremony in 1608. The mantle, which is embroidered with shells and depicts a man and two deer, would have been worn like a cloak or hung on a wall. The amount of detail that went into this artifact’s creation shows that its owner would have been considered a person of stature and wealth.
