Spirit Mouse Pad

Circular Feather Arrangements are found on pottery, in masks, prayer fans, dance costumes and on Plains "war bonnets" They are also used in decoration on buffalo hide "counts", or story depictions in paint recounting war honours, times of historic contact and other important periods of time. In a circular arrangement, they are related to the sun, and therefore, to the Creator. Eagle, the master of the sky, is considered a carrier of prayers. Many Indian Nations honour this bird as possessing courage, wisdom, and a special connection to the creator. This is often confused with the "thunderbird" image concept. Eagle is also a Directional Protector(the Sky) spirit, and an image associated with spirits and visions.
