The Cherokee Basketry Mandala – This is how it could look

An eight-fold mandala in Cherokee river-cane basketry style shows diamond-zigzag patterns, strawberry leaves and cane stalks, woven cross-hatching, butterflies and turkey footprints. A mountain-peak border lines the rim. A respectful tribute to Cherokee tradition of the southern Appalachians.
