Jensen Charlie III
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
Indigenous ones have been in company of Lizards since ancient times. Their likeness has been found on petroglyphs and pottery, among other places. In Zuni Pueblo, horned lizards are highly respected and associated with the Red Ant Society. Mexican cultures also respect horned lizards attributing the words: "Don't tread on me! I am the color of the earth and I hold the world; therefore walk carefully, that you do not tread on me." Jensen Charlie, III's lizard (or perhaps a horned lizard) has incredible scale details and a decorative line of handsome turquoise inlays. About 3 3/4" long, 1 3/4" wide and 5/8" tall, carved from fish rock serpentine.
Douglas Martza
Ptehe Agleska or Horned-Lizard is a sacred creature revered as a Keeper of Secrets to the Indigenous Lakota Nation. Puebloans regard them as family to be protected. Bringer of Rain and Grandfather Horned Toad are other names bestowed to this gentle reptile of the desert by The People. Douglas Martza's spiked horned lizard has been wonderfully carved from a handsome onyx and inlaid with turquoise eyes. An offering bundle of thankfulness is composed with colorful beads and an iridescent black lip mother-of-pearl shell point. About 2 5/8" long 1 3/4" wide and 1" tall.
Tammy Bellson
Tammy Bellson's lively Lizard wraps around a small natural clay seed pottery that measures about 2" tall, 2 3/8" wide and 1 3/4" deep. Seed pots were used in the old days to store precious seeds. The bold brick red, white and black-hued mineral pigments work so beautifully together. In aboriginal art, lizards are often painted in dotted mosaics. A lovely pottery that's enjoyable viewed from any angle. Signed by the artist.
Nelson Yatsattie
For some Plains Indigenous tribes, Lizards are linked with healing, survival and masculinity. A newborn boy's umbilical cord was sewn into the shape of a lizard to ensure the little one's good health, energy and strength. Nelson Yatsattie's phenomenal reptile duo is masterfully hewn from one rich portion of Picasso marble. Eyes from turquoise inlays convey individuality while tails are lusciously long. These life-like lizards feel like they could scurry off the stone in the blink of an eye. No matter what angle this gorgeous carving is viewed from, there are stunning details and natural colors to behold. Approximately 4 1/4" tall, 3" wide and 2 1/2" deep.
Stevan Natachu
Nelson Yatsattie's incredible horned Lizard has been smoothly sculpted from sodalite and inlaid with turquoise eyes. This rich mineral is said to promote emotional balance and boost confidence. Dimensions of this endangered desert dwelling reptile are approximately 3 3/8" long, 1 3/4" wide and 3/4" tall. Nelson's brother is prolific carver Brian Yatsattie.

Nelson Yatsattie's Lizard carved from fluorite is smooth, long and sly. This lighting fast reptile measures about 3 1/2" long, 1 1/2" wide by 1" tall, with smart eyes of inlaid turquoise. The carving had curvy minimalistic lines with incised feet. The long tail flips towards the back of the head and incredibly is carved forming an open loop at the back. Lizard medicine helps us remember our dreams and focus on our deepest visions, as a lizard basks in the heat of the sun, quiet yet alert.
