Title: Otter Bow case and arrow quiver
Post by: ---GUTSHOT---> on January 16, 2017, 11:12:12 am

Rich and I done alittle trading. I sent a tanned coyote pelt and 2 cased tanned otter pelts. In return he turned my otters into a nice set for my arrows and bow. Since my 4th great grandma is full blooded Cherokee he gave it some Cherokee decorations on the tail pendulum. Hopefully he will post what they stand for. Thanks for looking.

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.

Boy I'd  say you two make a pretty good set of partners. Nice deal Gutshot and beautiful work Rich. Thanks for telling us about the meaning of symbols.
