Artwork Description
Each shape, color, and material used in Amulet Form holds a significant meaning and bestows power upon the amulet, which may then be used in prayer or ceremony. The circle symbolizes the Circle of Life, the triangle represents the fate of Native Americans “boxed in” on reservations, and the deer antler and horsehair honor the animals “for their special role in helping Native people persevere and survive.”
