Description

Native American Navajo White Clay Round Jewelry Box with Healing Hand by HIlda Whitegoat

This beautiful round Navajo etched jewelry box has traditional Navajo symbols etched all around the base and in a circle on the lid of the box is a wonderful etching of the Healing Hand or the Hand of Friendship. The Healer's Hand, also known as the Shaman's Hand, is an ancient symbol of healing and protection. The hand with a spiral in the palm is believed to have come from the Native American hieroglyphs that have been found in a number of places in the southwestern United States. The spiral is a symbol of the individual migration path each of us travels in our life. The spiral can also symbolize the Great Spirit in the afterlife. Perfect for keepsakes, or that special piece of jewelry. The interior is fully glazed.
