Ray Tsalate's flawless Warrior Maiden was called into battle early and didn't have time to finish traditionally whorled hair. Stunningly carved from antler, she stands ready with a copper spear in one hand, while brave eyes are from pen shell inlays and a powerful voice is from red coral. A single feather carved from iridescent gold lip shell and sterling silver is fashioned on beautifully incised long hair. A gorgeous necklace is arranged from colorful red coral, malachite, turquoise and lapis lazuli inlays. About 2 3/4" tall, 1" wide and 5/8" deep.
