Bound in blue ribbon on edge, decorated with large open hour-glass shaped design in red, white and blue beads, also 4 beaded outline designs of animals - bird , deer, beaver and another border design of small blue & orange beaded triangles. Sacred kept hidden, worn only when hunting. Supposed to represent the thunder-bird achieved in a dream."
