Double Sided Beaded Medallion w/Coneflower Quillwork
This one-of-one innovative Medallion was created by Cherokee artist Makayla Sloan and it won Honorable Mention in the 2024 Cherokee National Holiday Art Show.

The reverse side showcases equally exquisite beadwork, creating a versatile, wearable work of art. Adorned with dyed porcupine quills , this medallion echoes the beauty of the natural world, honoring Makayla Sloan’s culture through each bead and burn detail.
