Calbert Bowannie
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
A chorus of hoots and head swivels comes from Calbert Bowannie's charismatic Owl who stretches its wings before take off. A sweetly flat face has eyes from turquoise inlays. Dimensions of this Night Grandfather as he's called in Zuni, are approximately 1 7/8" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 1 5/8" long. The stone is a handsome Picasso marble.
Clive Hustito
Clive Hustito's perched Picasso marble Eagle represents the Six-Directions in Zuni Pueblo worldview. In life there are Six Directions with a specific color and animal associated with each one. Long ago the Father of Medicine Societies, Po-shai-an-kia established predatory animals as guardians of the Six Directions who are healing and protective. The turquoise-eyed insightful raptor is one of the Six Directional animals including a black lip mother-of-pearl shell Mole, a mother-of-pearl Wolf, a dyed bamboo coral Badger, a turquoise Bear and a gold lip shell Mountain-lion nestled around the bird's talons. They are presented a top a gorgeous serpentine point. The conversing bird has lovely etched plumage included an incised "X" on its back which represents feathers as well. Dimensions in their entirety are approximately 4 1/4" tall, 2" wide and 3 1/2" deep.
Bernie Laselute
In northern New Mexico, Bandelier National Monument hosts beautiful volcanic tufa cliff homes where ancestral Pueblo people lived until around the mid-1500s. Hummingbirds and their families love the monument's gorgeous cliffs, dancing streams and striking valleys. Perhaps Bernie Laselute's gorgeous Picasso marble Hummingbird with turquoise eyes visits that place too. Puebloan cultures view hummingbirds as little warriors, magical beings. About 2 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1" tall.
