Burt Awelagte
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
Zuni artist Burt Awelagte was taught to carve by mentor Joseph Quam. His first carving was a Corn-Maiden created from fossilized ivory, one that he lovingly gifted to his mother. He enjoys focusing on carving animals from the Six-Directions including Mountain-lions like this minimally sculpted sandstone feline. Burt says he carefully listens to the stone and it tells him what it wants to be. Eyes are from tiny turquoise inlays, while an offering bundle contains lively turquoise and warm amber beads. About 3 3/4" long, 1 1/4" wide and 2 1/4" tall.
