Abundance Buffalo Framed Tile

Buffalo were vital to Native Americans as they provided food, shelter, clothing, tools, bedding and other essentials – the very epitome of abundance. As a spirit animal or totem, the buffalo is known for gratitude and community, as well as abundance.

The tile is handmade by rolling out a slab of stoneware clay, and cutting to size. When leather hard, the tile is covered with three layers of black under glaze. The chosen word or phrase is outlined in pencil, and clay is carefully carved away to reveal the message. The buffalo and other images are carved and it is fired to 1987 degrees. Then a clear glaze is applied and it’s fired again, this time to 2167 degrees. The end result resembles scratch board or wood cuts.

The frame can be hung on the wall or used as a trivet on the counter.

It’s the perfect gift for your sweetheart, a graduate, bride, or mom. Everyone can use a reminder live abundantly – even you.
