Native Americans highly regard the land and animals that provide for them. Constantly showing respect and honor is very important to this culture. When an animal is killed for food, it is vital that nothing go to waste. The skull of a cow is used to pay homage to the animal and what was.
Love this ornament! Moved to Arizona and the steer ornament is perfect for getting in the mood for a country Christmas in the west. Received a lot of admiring comments.
