people, thus the animal is dressed out in a Hopi way with turquoise necklace and kilt and treated as a person would be treated in death. It is prayed over and the meat is divided throughout the
family. It represents the coming together of all peoples, being happy and staying strong together. Featured here is an elk surrounded by prayer feathers, Tawa, the Father Sun, clouds and
rain. Expertly crafted by Hopi Silversmith, Chris Mansfield, this highly polished piece measures 1 by 1 5/8 inches and carries Chris' initials on the reverse side.
