Melvin Sandoval, San Felipe-Zuni
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
Each artist has a unique style, the thing they do best. Master carver Melvin Sandoval excels at bringing out the essence of an animal while being sensitive to the sublimities of the stone. Those two talents merge harmoniously in a foraging Bear. We see the anatomy of the creature but also its strength, presence and spirit. The dolomite is quite gorgeous and we are admiring his use of it for an adorable tail. About 3" long, 7/8" wide and 2" tall.
Melvin Sandoval's mastery of stone and brilliant artistry result in an old-style Eagle (or Hawk). The intricacies of the single dolomite specimen and the spirit of this raptor absolutely shine through. An eagle's ability to soar through the sky unconstrained is inspiring. About 4 1/4" long, 5/8" wide and 2 1/4" tall.
In the wild Badgers are focused and steadfast in what they set out to do, never giving up. Their example or animal medicine teaches us to be determined, not quitting on our goals and vision when things gets hard or are not happening as quickly as we'd hoped. Melvin Sandoval's badger has been elegantly conveyed in dolomite, his favorite stone to carve. The sunset-hued layers within the dolomite are incredible. About 4" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1 3/8" tall.
