"Old Big Arrangment"

An approximate rendition of a medicine wheel formation near to Majorville Alberta, known as "Omahkiyaahkohtoohp" which is Blackfoot for "Old Big Arrangement". It features a 9 m. diameter central cairn, with 28 radiating spokes enclosed within a 28 m. diameter ring. There is a large boulder placed between the main formation and a crescent shape of 7 rocks producing alignments with the central cairn. If the crescent and boulder are viewed as the moon and morning star, it shares a configuration used by many cultures throught the world, with the central cairn representing the sun. Numerous rock groupings and marker rocks in the area surrounding it suggest several solar alignments.
A work that can make a one of a kind addition to any living space. Every piece made will have it's own unique qualities that set it apart from any other of similar design and done freehand, the tiny natural colored stones are placed individually into a substrate of pulp and plaster along with dried basil as vegetation and blended hobby turf. After 10 days of curing, is sprayed with a clear adhesive. The artwork is  adhered to a backboard and mounted with screws in a rustic, aged and distressed cedar rough cut frame, behind glass with a frosted boarder. Comes with a description, a brief history of the medicine wheel, mounting hanger and felt wall protectors (already attached). Item sold will be the one seen in the photo's.
