Burt Awelagte's wide awake
Eagle (or
Hawk who is little brother to eagle in Zuni worldview) is gracefully formed from turquoise. Eyes are on the ball inlaid from vivid lapis lazuli, while a tiny offering necklace of gratitude has fine heishe, orange spiny oyster and green turquoise beads. You can see right through the fabulous beak. An eagle's pattern of living teaches us to open our eyes and see the whole picture the way it does in nature. About 2" long, 1 3/8" wide and 1 1/2" tall.
