Split light and a woven hoop
Two halves make this face. The thread runs pale down one side and dark down the other, so the head reads as split by light before you notice anything else. Amber eyes sit in a warm rose rim. Below the muzzle, a bound hoop carries a woven web and three feathers on beaded strands, with curved claws and smaller feathers ranged around the black outline.
Guardians of the night hours
The hoop and web come from Ojibwe tradition, where the charm was hung near a sleeping child, and from there it travelled far beyond its first home. Night lore in Europe went a different way with the wolf, turning it into the skin changer that eventually became the werewolf, and only tying that change to a full moon within living memory. Two answers, then, to the same old question about what moves while you sleep. There is more in the wolf, brother of the Amerindian.
