Sandra Quandelacy's gorgeous reversible carving from iridescent black lip shell depicts a Tablita Corn-Maiden who watches over precious water, a living source of interconnectedness, represented by a tiny carved jar from dolomite filled with crushed lapis.

Melvin Sandoval, San Felipe-Zuni
Like a time traveler from the old days, a lone Mountain-lion (cougar, puma or panther) walks through the ages. It is carved in the old-style presentation from a sunset-hued dolomite by Melvin Sandoval. A turquoise and melon heishe bead offering bundle gives thanks for mountain lions who teach us how to walk the good path in life with healthy boundaries. About 3 3/4" long, 1" wide and 1 1/8" tall.

Evalena Boone
Frog joins a chorus of nighttime amphibians. Many frog species are active after hours so we usually hear their happy songs at night. Evalena Boone's mother is Lena Boone. Evalena's grandmother was the late great carver Edna Leki who was famous for old-style carvings. In remembrance of Edna Leki, Dinah Gasper who is Evalena's aunt inlaid her animal carvings with nostrils. A fairly flat dolomite water creature has lovely eyes and nostrils inlaid with turquoise. A watery abalone point offering bundle is secured to this approximately 2 1/4" long, 2 3/8" wide and 1" tall croaker.
