Robert Michael Weahkee's late grandmother Edna Leki taught him to carve using antler. Her father was Teddy Weahkee and she was probably the first female carver at Zuni, as the Weahkee family is among the oldest carving families. When you shop keshi.com you're supporting an Indigenous artist like Robert who sets his own wholesale prices in keeping with our mission of promoting equitable treatment of artists. We're loving his baby bird in nest carved from burnished antler crown. The chick has eyes from turquoise inlays and an offering from citrine, aquamarine and lapis beads. About 1 3/4" long, 1 5/8" wide and 1" tall.
