"Spirit of the North" pen and ink drawing
This is a pen and ink drawing on a calf jawbone with peacock feathers. The hanger is hand spun Navaho-Churro wool. The bison, or American buffalo is the symbol of the earth' s abundance. The cedar tree is the Native American tree of life. The hawk or hawk feather is the symbol if sacred message. The piece is 18" long from tip to tip and 8" tall.
The North is the place of wisdom and renewal. The bison in its abundance and message of ritual that she brought to the people is the spirit of the north.When we reflect and show gratitude for life's lessons, healing power, sacred rituals and abundance, wisdom follows. The quiet of winter allows and encourages that reflection. "The Spirit of the North" invites you to sit with her on those long quiet evenings of reflection and abundance.
