A gentle doe has been sculpted from a beautiful magnesite by Kenric Laiwakete. Eyes and an alternating heartline or breath path are from lovely turquoise inlays. Deer (Na’le) medicine is about being aware of our surroundings, present as they are in nature. For the A:Shiwi (The People), traditional oral stories include deer and can be found in The Zunis Self-Portrayals book by The Zuni People translated by Alvina Quam, copyright 1972. The recorded tales share fables of moral instruction regarding deer with titles like "Sacred Way to Hunt Deer" and "Henry Hunting Deer". This great publication is available and sold separately here. The wonderful doe's measurements are approximately 3 1/4" long, 3/4" wide and 2" tall.
