Cowrie shells in this piece represent Goddess protection, which is very powerful in African Folklore. Based in legend, shells have spiritual connections. This quilt is blessed with prayers for protection and healing.
This quilt was gifted by the artist for patients in the cancer units at Duke University Hospital and in memory of her father, Thomas Jefferson Pierce.
