This is a Mace, or entrance speaking staff I am holding.           There are 3 figures, at the base is Mother Wolf and her Cub, representing the wolf people.  The Human in the center, is seated holding a bentwood box (containing the knowledge of the universe) while holding the Raven.  The Raven has the Sun in its beak, and a small pole on its head, these being the central star given to the 3rd dimension.  The figures are on a Copper Shield, a combination that shows the power of the universe, and wealth to the indigenous nations.          Inlaid with abalone, copper, operculum shells, wool, acrylic, leather.
