Colin Weeka descends from the greater Laate family of amazing Zuni artists, which include carving greats like Maxx Laate, Derrick Kaamasee and Destry Siutza, among many others.
Every nook and cranny, all the exquisite feather details and the abundance of amazing texture, makes this jet carving so intriguing. Happily perched, a Raven (or other feathered friend) looks around through turquoise inlaid eyes. Perhaps it is getting ready to do maintenance work around its nesting sight, as the cooler fall season is soon approaching. Colin inlaid lovely circular accents into the feathers, perhaps of shell or some other material. About 2" tall, 1 1/4" deep and 1 1/2" wide, signed by the artist.
