Nelson Yatsattie
The famous Italian art technique of sgraffito is accomplished by scratching through a material's surface to reveal the lower contrasting layer. It was used during the Renaissance, in the decoration of buildings and palace facades. Nelson Yatsattie made stunning use of this artistic approach in a roughly 2 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1 3/4" tall personality-plus Bobcat (or wildcat). This lovely and intricate treatment really emphasizes fur and enhances the beauty of the serpentine specimen. Observant eyes are from turquoise inlays.
Travis Nieto
We can respect Bears by giving them space and not interfering with their important doings. Bears are extraordinarily intelligent, dominant predators with sharp memories and superior navigation skills. Travis Nieto's gorgeous Picasso marble bear has turquoise eyes and measures in the neighborhood of approximately 2 1/4" long, 1" wide and 1 1/4" tall. We admire his attention to facial details and etched furry coat.
Ravens are considered tricksters in Indigenous Haida worldview. A traditional story about raven involves a blind halibut fisherman alone one day in his canoe. As he manages a fishing line, a playful raven comes along and continually bugs by pulling on the line. Not knowing what is happening, the fisherman suddenly pulls the line catching the bird’s beak, breaking it off. Not sure of what he snagged, the blind man has his daughter place the broken bill on a stick and position it up above his home. The embarrassed raven emerges from the ocean and tries to reattach the beak but it slides and instead becomes attached to his chin. A crafty Raven (or crow) from jet has a special essence. You can feel the deep intelligence of this turquoise-eyed corvid carved by Nelson Yatsattie to a size of approximately 5" long, 1 3/8" wide and 4 1/2" tall. Scalloped plumage is stunningly beautiful.
