The crane totem on this shield would give protection against the enemy. The detail of the four inverted U’s represents the horse’s hooves. When a horse was captured or stolen, this symbol would be added to the shield, tipi, or even painted on a horse, showing others how many horses this warrior had taken from the enemy..
