Burt Awelagte
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
Angelite is a form of gypsum that's visually consoling even said to promote compassion, which Burt Awelagte's Bear seems to sweetly express. We can comfort others by acknowledging their feelings and letting them know it's okay to feel the way they do. He finished this turquoise-eyed companion with a lovely polish that showcases all the soothing and ethereal features of the angelite. An offering necklace has colorful green turquoise, orange spiny oyster shell and heishe beads. Approximately 2 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1 7/8" tall.
Zuni Olla Maidens are one of the most renowned dance groups in New Mexico. The members dance with fragile pottery jars or ollas, balanced on the top of their heads. Traditionally ollas would be used to transport all kinds of things including sacred Corn meal or life-giving water. Burt Awelagte's Olla Maiden is carved from a matrix-rich turquoise. The sculpted jar is from another gorgeous variety of turquoise, permanently attached to the Olla Maiden. Facial features are from clean jet inlays. An offering necklace has moonstone and turquoise beads. Dimensions including the lovely angelite base are approximately 4 3/8" tall, 1 5/8" wide and 1 1/8" deep.
