Apache Blessing

This piece goes with the Old Gaelic Blessing. It is a southwestern Native American theme with an Apache Blessing. The corner motifs are of a sun, moon, rain, and an eagle. The sun is the Zia sun symbol with a significance of 4: the 4 cardinal directions, 4 seasons of the year, 4 seasons of life, 4 periods of the day, and 4 sacred obligations (strong body, clear mind, pure spirit, and devotion to the welfare of others). The moon is a symbol of the protector and guardian of the earth. Rain symbolizes renewal, fertility, and change. The eagle symbolizes courage, wisdom, and strength.
This is all hand-drawn except for the type.
{Apache Blessing}
