Hope that you like it Paul. The emblems are a seven pointed star painted yellow.....that represents the seven original bands of the Cherokee Nation. (That is a piece of whitetail rawhide and sewn on). The geometric design of the seven squares is the representation of the seven sacred directions being N, S, E, W the upper world, the lower world and finally the "place we are now" represented by the top most green square. The jaw bone tied to the pendant is a cat jaw. I dont know what kind of cat because I found it in the woods that I hunt, it was lying by itself with nothing else around it. Anyway I added it to the quiver because the Cherokee held the Mountain Lion ( and to a lesser degree, all the wild cats) as sacred.
The designs seem disconnected but to a Cherokee they have meaning.
