Ptehe Agleska or Horned-Lizard is a sacred creature revered as a Keeper of Secrets to the Indigenous Lakota Nation. Puebloans regard them as family to be protected. Bringer of Rain and Grandfather Horned Toad are other names bestowed to this gentle reptile of the desert by The People. Douglas Martza's spiked horned lizard has been wonderfully carved from a handsome onyx and inlaid with turquoise eyes. An offering bundle of thankfulness is composed with colorful beads and an iridescent black lip mother-of-pearl shell point. About 2 5/8" long 1 3/4" wide and 1" tall.
