Native American Cherokee Deer Skull Trail Marker

The trail marker is used by a clan or family to mark a trail. It indicates the direction to a ceremony, meeting or the home of a clan. The colors on the trail marker are the clan colors. Deer antlers represent family and gentleness. A medicine wheel is placed between the horns to protect the family from harm and misfortune. Coyote skulls represent wisdom and folly. Feathers represent a connection with prayer and protection. They hold and carry all your dreams and prayers and protect you and your family. A spearhead at the bottom of a trail marker is used for securing the marker into the ground. A trail marker without the spearhead denotes a clan living in a mountainous region, and it is hung from a tree or placed by a boulder. Skulls, trim, leather and beads will vary. Certificate of Authenticity Included.
