This image is of a Native American dream catcher, an object traditionally made by indigenous peoples in North America. It's made out of feathers and beads, and hangs from the top of a woven band or cord. Dream catchers are considered to be spiritual objects that protect the sleeper from bad dreams, nightmares, and night terrors. They are believed to trap bad dreams in their web-like structure and allow only good dreams to pass through and help a person to have a peaceful sleep. The dream catcher in this image is made up of colorful feathers of different sizes and shapes. Some are made of shimmering beads while others are simple strips of colorful fabric. The dream catcher has a central hole where the cord is passed through and hung from the ceiling or walls of a bedroom. It's important to note that the dreamcatcher can vary in design, depending on the tribe, culture and personal interpretation, so the image you have described is one example of its traditional form.
