Scope and content
Weaving is done in a chevron shape, with wheat tails protruding in a fan from the bottom of the chevron. Chevron is attached to another woven triangle, with a wheat woven hanger on top. Contains an information card stating: "The art of Straw Weaving is a tale of wonder and respect. The farmer would weave a straw symbol of the last grain to act as a resting place of the Spirit - thus ensuring a bountiful harvest for the following year. Today the weavings have become symbols of good luck." Card notes that the weaving was handcrafted in Alberta, and contains a date stamp of Edmonton, 2000.
