Handmade Native American Friendship Symbol: Crossed Arrows Gift

Friendship symbol. The Native American symbol for Friendship is the crossed arrows. Many Native American nations used the crossed arrows as a symbol of friendship.

Friends are the Sunshine of Life! Orange is the color of warmth and joy. Yellow is the color of happiness and optimism.

Each symbol comes in a 5 by 7 inch 100% cotton, double drawstring pouch with an explanation card.

Each Sacred Symbol is created by hand, one at a time by me, using earthenware clay. I first take a hand full of clay and shape it. When I get the piece shaped the way I want it I then impress a symbol that I have made into the clay. Small variations in handmade artwork are what give each piece its own 'charm'. These are not manufactured in some plant by a robotic machine and that is readily apparent when holding them. They truly have that unique warmth of hand about them that can only come from the individual attention and care they receive during the creative process.

Because each Sacred Symbol is created by hand, one at a time, there is a slight size variation among them. They range from 10 to 12 ounces ( 284 to 340 gm) and are approximately 3.5 to 4 inches (8.9 to 10.2 cm) across.
