Nelson Yatsattie
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
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.
Agnes Peynetsa
Watching the sky, Frogs and Lizards wait patiently as fluffy forming clouds begin to release a blessing of rainfall as depicted in noted Zuni Pueblo potter Agnes Peynetsa's incredible piece. We love the three-dimensional presentation of the creature's heads and their elegantly painted bodies. Hand coiled with natural clay and adorned with clay and mineral pigments, this collectible pottery jar vibrating with a wonderful sense of movement is about 7 1/4" tall, 7 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" deep. Signed by the artist. Please click here to read about wonderful Zuni pottery.
Stevan Natachu
Nelson Yatsattie's incredible horned Lizard has been smoothly sculpted from sodalite and inlaid with turquoise eyes. This rich mineral is said to promote emotional balance and boost confidence. Dimensions of this endangered desert dwelling reptile are approximately 3 3/8" long, 1 3/4" wide and 3/4" tall. Nelson's brother is prolific carver Brian Yatsattie.
Loren Tsalabutie
Nelson Yatsattie's Lizard carved from fluorite is smooth, long and sly. This lighting fast reptile measures about 3 1/2" long, 1 1/2" wide by 1" tall, with smart eyes of inlaid turquoise. The carving had curvy minimalistic lines with incised feet. The long tail flips towards the back of the head and incredibly is carved forming an open loop at the back. Lizard medicine helps us remember our dreams and focus on our deepest visions, as a lizard basks in the heat of the sun, quiet yet alert.
