FILLED CREAM COLOR LEATHER MEDICINE BAG

MY NAME IS SUSAN HIGH CLOUD AND I AM A TRIBAL MEMBER OF THE WACCAMAW INDIAN PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. I HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE; PL 101-644 AND A CERTIFICATE AS A NATIVE AMERICAN ARTIST. A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED SO YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THIS CRAFT WAS HANDMADE BY ME.

I AM NOT VERY SKILLED AT TAKING PICTURES BUT I DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE BAG ACCURATELY.

I CUT AND HAND SEW EACH CONTEMPORARY NATIVE AMERICAN BAG. I ALSO FILL EACH BAG WITH DIFFERENT CRYSTALS, SHELLS, SEEDS, STONES, HERBS, ETC. EACH BAG HAS DIFFERENT ITEMS INSIDE. NONE OF THE BAGS I MAKE WILL HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME ITEMS INSIDE.

THE BAG DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY ILLEGAL HERBS, PLANTS, ENDANGERED SPECIES ANIMAL PARTS, OR GRAVEYARD DIGGINGS.

I SMUDGE ( CLEANSE ) EACH BAG AS THIS IS THE PROPER WAY.

I WILL INCLUDE A LEGEND WITH YOUR BAG.

IF YOU ARE BUYING THE BAG FOR YOURSELF; THEN YOU MAY ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR BAG AS YOU WISH. YOU MAY WANT TO ADD THE DIRT FROM A LOVED ONE'S GRAVE, SPECIAL MOMENTOS, A LOCKET OF HAIR, THE FIRST TOOTH A CHILD LOST, ETC. BUT PLEASE, IF BUYING AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE ELSE.... OUT OF RESPECT..... PLEASE DO NOT LOOK INSIDE THIER BAG.

THIS MEDICINE BAG IS MADE OF REAL CREAM COLOR LEATHER. IT IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG AND 2 INCHES WIDE. THE BAG HAS A 1 INCH SHELL BUTTERFLY PENDANT ON THE FRONT. THE NECK STRAP IS MADE OF LEATHER AND IT IS LONG ENOUGH TO SLIP OVER YOUR HEAD TO WEAR.

MEDICINE BAGS HAVE BEEN USED BY NATIVE AMERICANS FOR CENTURIES. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE BAG WAS TO HELP PROTECT THE OWNER FROM HARM, EVIL SPIRITS, AND ILLNESS. IT WOULD ALSO HELP STRENGTHEN LOVE, ALONG SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS, AND BRING GOOD HEALTH.

MAY THE BREATH OF BROTHER WIND ALWAYS BRING YOU COMFORT AND THE ABUNDANCE OF MOTHER EARTH FILL YOUR EVERY NEED. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
