Design, patterns and symbols. This bag has the butterfly of wisdom and love (two inverted triangles) with the antennae stylized on the sides. There is a smile pattern to remind us of the medicine we carry within and that we can share freely when we smile to each other. There is also the mini constellation of the pleiades with corn beans and squash seeds represented in a diamond shape. This bag is perfect for carrying seeds and planting your garden or fill it up with goodies from the farmers market.
