Navajo
Dance Stick 
with Dream Catcher
 
The dream catcher legend states that positive dreams and thoughts
pass through the center opening and travel down the feathers 
to the sleeping individual.
The negative dreams are caught in the web and perish at dawn.
 
The coup was a small stick carried into battle by a warrior.
It was a sign of bravery to get close enough to touch the enemy with the coup.
 
This small ornate staff may be used for personal prayer and meditation,
or as a dance, medicine or talking stick.
 
The dream catcher measures 2" in diameter
and is wrapped in antiqued sueded leather
with a feather focal point.
 
The wooden handle is hand painted, decorated with tiny seed beads
and accented with a feather and hanging loop.
8" in length
