Resting Reptile

Eric Lonjose

$70.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Late autumn's soothing sunshine reflects on Eric Lonjose's approximate 2" long, 1" wide and 3/8" tall Lizard as warms on a Zuni Pueblo rock. Soon it will resume foraging with short and jerky movements. Drilled eyes will show it where to go. This neat reptile has been carved from interesting tiger's eye, which is a golden-brown chatoyant stone naturally formed from quartz colored by iron oxide. It's said to promote confidence and vitality. View item

Crossing Paths Tarantula & Lizard

Vern Nieto

$500.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

An amazing encounter unfolds as a hairy tarantula Spider and a turquoise-eyed Lizard cross paths on a sunny autumn day. They're friends and will peacefully bypass one another because the change of seasons is at hand and there's much to do. The reptile's long tail is nicely coiled while its body is smooth. Vern Nieto (d) carved this sensational piece from one portion of rich Picasso marble, golden like the changing fall colors. About 2 3/8" tall, 2 1/2" wide and 1 3/8" deep. View item

$700.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Lizards are creatures who camouflage beautifully in their environments. At approximately 4" long, 1 5/8" wide and 2" tall, this jet in turquoise-eyed spirited reptile has been hewn from the richest of Picasso marbles by Vern Nieto (d). Abundant earth toned-hues occupy this portion of marble that's been elegantly incised for reptilian skin. It will blend into any place wonderfully. Vern's extraordinary carving skills are evident having brought about this realistic reptile from one stone, amazing. He will be greatly missed. View item

Hunting Lizard

Derrick Kaamasee

Animal: Lizard, Material: Fossilized Ivory

$105.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Quick to scale a high place, Derrick Kaamasee's turquoise-eyed Lizard hunts a zooming-by fly.

Derrick's uncle is renowned carver Maxx Laate. Derrick started carving in the late 1980s and comes from the greater Laate family of Zuni Pueblo fetish artists. He's taught many others the art of fetish carving. View item

Ephemeral Horned Toad

Nelson Yatsattie

Animal: Horned Lizard, Material: Onyx

$240.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Horned Lizards eat red ants, exclusively. Their population numbers have been in decline recently. Studies conducted by the University of Texas were able to trace this decline, in part, to the eradication of red ants through the use of pesticides. In Zuni the Red Ant Clan holds a special place for Horned Lizard. Nelson Yatsattie, brother of carver Brian Yatsattie, created this reptile from show stopping palest green onyx. We love the well shaped head and smooth, highly polished body. Nelson inlaid turquoise eyes. About 4" long and 1 1/2" wide. View item

Down To Earth Horned Lizard

Michael Coble

Animal: Horned Lizard, Material: Picasso Marble

$500.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Stunningly realistic, Michael Coble's outstandingly carved horned Lizard loves to bask in the nourishing Zuni Pueblo sun, happily perched on a beautifully incised rock. An exceptional reptile with feeling eyes from inlaid turquoise, it measures a generous 4 1/2" long, 3 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" tall. We love how the Picasso marble's natural beauty and Michael's intricate etching come together to perfectly mimic this endangered desert dweller's body. An incredible work to keep close by. View item

Kevin Chapman, Zuni-Sioux

Animal: Chameleon, Material: Serpentine

$220.00

is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.

Chameleons are fascinating Lizards that change the color of their scaled skin to communicate, or to regulate their body temperature. They do so with specialized iridophore skin cells. Chameleons have almost 360 degree vision. Kevin Chapman's approximate 2 1/4" long, 3/4" wide and 1 3/4" tall awesome serpentine chameleon has already begun altering its etched skin from a pretty pale yellow to a fresh lime green sort of hue. It spots a meal with turquoise inlaid eyes. View item
