James Jacko Medicine Turtle Charm Necklace

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.

Charm Necklaces are made with die-casted zinc alloy and dimensions are within 3cm x 3cm. The necklace includes an 18-inch chain with a 2-inch extension.  Each pendant is engraved with the artist's signature on the back.
