Powerful Eagle (or little brother Hawk) keeps watch over Zuni Pueblo as depicted in multi-media artist Cameron Kalestewa's pine woodwork and bright acrylic wall hanging that's intricately burnt in the pyrogravure art technique. Pyrography is the art of producing a design on wood by applying heat and pressure. A medium gaining new popularity among artists in recent years, pryogravure literally means “writing with fire” with origins that go back to the earliest days of humankind used by ancient craftsman from Peru, Egypt and China. Cameron is one of the best pyrographers in Zuni. Other harmonious details include mighty Bear, quick roadrunner, a Zuni Sunface abstraction, tracks and feathered arrow elements. Measurements are about 9 3/4" long including the lovely beaded loop with turquoise, 8 1/2" wide and 1/2" deep. Signed by the artist.
