Herbert Halate
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
Herbert Halate's balancing bushytail (Coyote, Fox, or Wolf) pair is carved from jet and fish rock serpentine reminding us of the balance between light and dark, and the need for both. Light and shadow are mutually creative and transformative, and neither can exist without the other. Eyes are from turquoise inlays and fur is lightly etched. About 3 1/4" long, 1 1/8" wide and 7/8" tall.

Burt Awelagte
Brown and black bears can live in forests at sea level. Perhaps Burt Awelagte's turquoise-eyed Bear journeyed to a favorite sandy beach and brought back an ocean-inspired offering bundle containing a gorgeous little seashell, honey-hued amber and sea-foam green turquoise nuggets. Carved from a lovely banded travertine onyx, our beach-loving friend measures approximately 3 1/2" long, 1" wide and roughly 2 1/4" tall.
Bears are a spiritual and ecological force. They are fellow beings considered close family members by Indigenous cultures. Bears teach us qualities about protection, strength and healing. They are also forest managers whose foraging habits and mighty claws aerate the soil, while scat spreads vital seeds and contributes to nutrient cycling. Burt Awelagte is from the greater Othole family of Zuni Pueblo artists. His late cousin Joey Quam helped him get started in carving. We adore Burt's animals like this growling Bear made from a lively alabaster. Eyes are from jet inlays. About 2 3/4" long, 3/4" wide and roughly 1 3/4" tall.
Felino Eriacho
Master carver Felino Eriacho and his good friend fellow carver Fred Bowannie, Jr. hike around Zuni land to find incredible local materials to create animal carvings from. A stunning portion of found septarian is from the Fence Lake area near Zuni. Felino transformed the septarian into a wonderful fishing Bear with sweet pen shell eyes to a height of approximately 4 1/2" tall, 4" wide and 4 1/2" long. Beautifully polished, a stunning network of calcite formations create amazing texture and are fun to inspect. Two small natural crevices in the calcite are enchanting enough to warrant visiting with a small flashlight. The wonderfully etched fish has pen shell eyes. Signed by the artist.
