Oro Talking Stick

Description

Here is an item we think no family should be without.
The talking stick is held by the one allowed to talk during A family meeting all others must listen quietly, once their piece has been said they then pass it along to another member to allow them thier chance to speak.
What A peaceful and calm way to settle disputes!

My rendition of the tribunal talking stick is made with A lightweight Saguaro cactus rib (A cacti only found to grow in parts of Arizona and California along with Sonora,Mexico)
Embelished with soft golden raw edge buckskin,black sheep skin,The handcut buckskin fringe is inner mingled with strands of turquoise nuggets,burnished silver beads and hieshi,black buffalo horn hairbone and coral stone beads,
horsehair and feather drops.
On the very top is A large bone button topped by A turquoise nugget and two strands of burnished silver hieshi and cones with two small turquoise nuggets.

The talking stick measures 21 inches top to bottom.

Due to the nature of the materials used this talking stick is A one of A kind piece and each is artist signed.
