Adrian Cachini
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
A shrew is not a rodent like a mouse but a member of an ancient Mammalian order Insectivora. We're adoring Adrian Cachini's sgraffito-etched marble shrew (or perhaps a Mole) that's approximately 2 1/4" long, 1 3/8" wide and 3/4" tall. Flowing feathers and Zuni Rainbirds are among the captivating designs. Tiny eyes and an accent are from turquoise inlays. Adrian thoughtfully carved this creature as if it were in motion.

For the Zuni People, K'yaluts'i (Mole) is the Guardian of Mother Earth, a protective and hunting animal of the underground. James Panteah's insectivorous mammal with turquoise eyes is smoothly carved and polished from an orthoceras fossil, a primitive cousin of the modern nautilus. Measurements of this sweet friend are about 2" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1/2" tall whose example in nature teaches us to trust our instincts as it does.

Clive Hustito's perched Picasso marble Eagle represents the Six-Directions in Zuni Pueblo worldview. In life there are Six Directions with a specific color and animal associated with each one. Long ago the Father of Medicine Societies, Po-shai-an-kia established predatory animals as guardians of the Six Directions who are healing and protective. The turquoise-eyed insightful raptor is one of the Six Directional animals including a black lip mother-of-pearl shell Mole, a mother-of-pearl Wolf, a dyed bamboo coral Badger, a turquoise Bear and a gold lip shell Mountain-lion nestled around the bird's talons. They are presented a top a gorgeous serpentine point. The conversing bird has lovely etched plumage included an incised "X" on its back which represents feathers as well. Dimensions in their entirety are approximately 4 1/4" tall, 2" wide and 3 1/2" deep.

Moles dig deeper to escape winter's harshest days. Among the extensive roots, they'll sniff out the juiciest insects and chubbiest earthworms to fill their bellies. A mole's animal medicine teaches us to look inside ourselves and the potential we have to reach our goals. Douglas Martza's wonderful beneath the ground creature has been sculpted from a cool marble to a size of approximately 2 5/8" long, roughly 1 1/4" wide and 1 1/4" tall. An orange spiny oyster shell point offering bundle looks stunning against the richness of the marble. Tiny eyes are from turquoise inlays.

K'yaluts'i or Mole is the protector of Mother Earth. In nature, moles have poor eyesight and in turn teach us to trust our other instincts as they live this way all the time. A delightful hypogean friend carved from a lovely watermelon serpentine with turquoise inlaid eyes and accents is by Alexander Chavez. About 2" long, 1 5/8" wide and 1/2" tall.
