Refreshing Alabaster Bear

Herbert Halate

Animal: Bear, Material: Alabaster

$56.00

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

Part of the fun in collecting Zuni animal carvings is the stones that connect us with nature. Herbert Halate opted for refreshing alabaster to carve a sunny Bear. Alabaster is said to promote self-forgiveness and a positive attitude to bounce back from adversity. Approving eyes and an offering bundle representing gratitude are from turquoise. About 2 1/8" long, 3/8" wide and 7/8" tall.

Crocodile Smiles

Austin Yatsattie, San Felipe-Zuni

Animal: Alligator, Material: Alabaster

$180.00

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

Alligators and crocodiles are both huge reptiles known for their large powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth, long tails and thick plated skin. But you can tell them apart through physical differences. Alligators have broader snouts, while crocodiles have a narrower snout. Austin Yatsattie's handsome alligator or crocodile has a great double row of dorsal scales and etched eyes. A nice polishing job shows off the alabaster's natural beauty. A wonderful water creature measuring approximately 6 1/4" long, 2 3/8" wide and 1" tall. View item
