Warrior Bat

Frankie Eustace

Animal: Bat, Material: Picasso Marble

$66.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Ancient Indigenous societies such as the Maya regard bats as having supernatural powers and give strength against enemies.

About 1 1/2" tall, 3 1/4" wide and 1/2" deep.

Picasso marble is beloved for a natural array of hues such as tan, yellow and even subtle pink.

An alternating heartline from meticulously inlaid sections of pink mussel shell, turquoise, coral and pen shell starts at the mouth representing the breath path leading to the heart region. A lovely gold lip shell point is secured with a medley of assorted beads within the offering bundle. Watchful eyes are from perhaps crushed azurite inlays.

Cooperative Badger

Sedrick Banteah

Animal: Badger, Material: Picasso Marble

$80.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Indigenous Peoples always knew Coyotes and Badgers were friends even hunting cooperatively. In recent years, a remote sensing camera installed near an underground wildlife crossing in the Southern Santa Cruz Mountains in California captured a sweet moment between a coyote and badger friend as they traveled together through a tunnel pass. Their natural interaction provides evidence of Indigenous wisdom in action. Wildlife crossings don't exist everywhere so it pays to slow down when driving in case our animal friends are crossing the highway. Sedrick Banteah's Picasso marble badger has turquoise eyes. It is highly-detailed with many incising marks for fur accents. About 2" long, 1" wide and 5/8" tall.

Animal: Snake, Material: Picasso Marble

$490.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Colder nighttime temperatures signal it is time for a turquoise-eyed rattlesnake to seek a safe underground shelter. This wondrous creature is engagingly carved from a Picasso marble that's hued like the desert by Nelson Yatsattie. Detailed with beautifully patterned scales, nostrils and a rattler, snakes are both predator and prey providing a necessary balance to healthy ecosystems. Their animal medicine teaches us to improve ourselves by discarding negative ways because in nature they regularly shed their old skin to be better.

Sea Turtle

Michael Coble

Animal: Sea Turtle, Material: Picasso Marble

$120.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Sea Turtles spend most of their lives out in the great oceans. When they nest ashore, hatched eggshells provide nourishment to dune plant life such as beach grasses that in turn, help stabilize the coasts and prevent erosion. Michael Coble's turquoise-eyed sea turtle heads shorewards, getting there quickly thanks to powerful fore and hind flippers. Carved from one super pretty Picasso marble specimen, a masterfully detailed carapace with scutes is visually stunning, as are the scaled flippers. A beautifully worked head is so sweet. About 3" long, 2 5/8" wide and 1 1/4" tall. View item
