Grandmothers are a mosaic of colorful stories, life experiences and reflection. Carved from verdant malachite, Chad Quandelacy's reversible Zuni Grandmother is inlaid with a gorgeous tapestry from pink mussel shell, spiny oyster shell, lapis, chrysocolla, turquoise, black lip shell, jet and fluorite that perhaps represent the significant moments from the journey in life. Facial features are from pink mussel shell accented with jet paste. Stars that dance on her shawl are etched and filled with jet paste as well. Including the vibrant base from lapis lazuli with pyrite inclusions, dimensions in their entirety are approximately 2 1/2" tall, 1 5/8" wide and 1" deep.
