Evalena Boone descends from the late mid-century master carver Teddy Weahkee of Zuni Pueblo. Her mother was Lena Boone and her grandmother was Edna Leki. Lena’s wonderful family and Keshi go way back. In fact, Rignie who is Lena’s husband, would often visit Robin Dunlap's Zuni classroom during the 80's, as his daughter Evalena and son Leland were her students. After school, he would show her animal carvings and she would purchase many. After teaching in Zuni, Robin was one of the founding members of our cooperative Keshi, Inc. When you shop keshi.com you're supporting an Indigenous artist like Evalena who sets her own wholesale prices in keeping with our mission of supporting and promoting equitable treatment of artists.
We’re thrilled to share Evalena's divine horned Owl pendant necklace, one you must own. The charming raptors are sculpted from fossilized ivory and have wise eyes from turquoise inlays. The center bird is about 1 1/4" long, 5/8" wide and 3/8" deep, while the accompanying feathered friends average from about 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" long, 3/8" to 1/2" wide and 1/4" to 3/8" deep. The collectible necklace is roughly 24 7/8” long laced with rich jet and colorful turquoise beads. The artist's sterling silver signature label is attached.
