Beaded #Turtle & Beaded #Lizard Umbilical Pouches
On display at Santa Rosa Junior College Multicultural Museum (CA, USA)
“Umbilical pouches are created by Plains women when babies are born. The umbilical cord of the newborn is dried & then sewn into the pouch. The pouch may then be then hung on cradleboards or blankets as a protective amulet or hung on a tree to draw spirits away from the child. Lizards represent boys & turtles represent girls.”
