This symbol is called "Vegvesir" and it is a runic compass to avoid getting lost. The runes on this piece are painted in red ochre on a piece of Reindeer rawhide from Finland and mounted in a willow hoop. Red ochre is a traditional dye used in ceremonies back to Neanderthal times, and represents the sacred blood of birth and death. Reindeer is sacred to the Northern European people and represents abundance, security & family. The willow hoop was hand cut and bent by me at the Sandy River in Portland, Oregon. This is a custom item, variations may occur.
