James Jacko Medicine Turtle Ceramic Tile-Trivet

Designed by Odawa-Pottawatomi Artist James Jacko.

The Turtle is sacred in the indigenous culture. It carries the four colours of the medicine wheel, symbolizing important elements and can be different depending on the tribe. The seven circles represent the seven teachings of our people, and inside each circle is a bird that delivers the message of the creator.

Ceramic tiles can be hung on the wall or used as a trivet, measuring 15cm x 15cm.
