For some Plains Indigenous tribes, Lizards are linked with healing, survival and masculinity. A newborn boy's umbilical cord was sewn into the shape of a lizard to ensure the little one's good health, energy and strength. Nelson Yatsattie's phenomenal reptile duo is masterfully hewn from one rich portion of Picasso marble. Eyes from turquoise inlays convey individuality while tails are lusciously long. These life-like lizards feel like they could scurry off the stone in the blink of an eye. No matter what angle this gorgeous carving is viewed from, there are stunning details and natural colors to behold. Approximately 4 1/4" tall, 3" wide and 2 1/2" deep.
