Maxine Noel Sioux Artist Oscardo Canada Signed "Not Forgotten" Coffee Cup Mug

This is a 10 oz mug with a full wrap around design by artist Maxine Noel (She is from Birdtail Sioux Manitoba). The artwork is titled Not Forgotten and was originally done around 2015. This is a new mug never used. I do not have the original box. It is microwave and dishwasher safe. Made by Oscardo and designed in Canada. Due to word count limits I have posted some of what Maxine Noel has said about painting this piece. Not Forgotten - Maxine Noel - Ioyan Mani, Sioux Artist Our mothers and daughters, our sisters and aunties and grandmothers. Our women are our heart and our spirit, always honoured, never forgotten. I am Dakota Sioux, a woman and mother, and an artist. These are inseparable facets of who I am and how I live in the world. That world, the world we all live and move in, is a place of great and terrible beauty, of wonder, and of tragedy. In this painting I speak to that wonder and beauty and tragedy. To capture both the wonders and the tragedy, I wanted to include motifs which connect with all the places our peoples live.
