Description

Shamanism is a very general (sometimes even debated) concept, comprising mediator-role figures of several different cultures, with great diversity. That is why this image is a tableau. It is created to be a lead image of Wikipedia's Shamanism article.
Source

The montage is made with GIMP out of the four Wikimedia Commons images:

  • Yupik shaman in Nushagak, licensed PD-old
  • Sami shaman ("noaide"), licensed PD-old
  • Altai Kizhi or Khakas shaman, licensed PD-old
  • Shaman with his paraphernalia, licensed PD-US

Thus, one of the member images is licensed more restrictively (PD-US) than the others (PD-old). This most restrictive licensing (PD-US) is given to the resulting montage.

GIMPed together by Physis. The descriptions of the "member images" can be seen at their own description pages. Three of them are licensed in public domain because of being old, but one of them is licensed in a more restrictive way (public domain in the U.S.A.), thus, this is chosen to form the license of the resulting montage.

This entirely black and white image is a further-processed variant of a more original variant. Three of the member images are BW, but the one about the Altai Kizhi / Khakas shaman woman is originally colorful on the Russian postcard. The process was reducing saturation to zero.
