Medicine Shield by R. Maracle – 5″ Hoop Assorted

The Medicine Shield is an ancient tradition. The four points on the shield signify the four compass points, and the four races of man – black, white, red and yellow. They also represent the four faces of man – spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical. All these aspects are contained within a circle – the circle of life. These measure 5″ in diameter and 12″ long including feathers (12.5 cm x 30 cm). Handcrafted by Mohawk feathersmith R. Maracle.
