The Popol Vuh is an ancient sacred text of the Kʼicheʼ who are Indigenous Mayans. It contains the Mayan creation story, ancestry and history. A story in the Popol Vuh says that the gods sent four animals to find a suitable location for the creation of humans. One of the animals is a helpful Fox who along with the others secure a good place. They bring back corn which the gods use to create the first humans. Shannon Waatsa's Fox (Wolf or Coyote) pairing sleeps concealed in the grasses, their voluminous tails curled around for warmth. The single Picasso marble specimen is rich in natural beauty and color. Intelligent eyes are meticulously set with jet in gold lip shell, while precious noses are from perhaps black marble or jet. About 1 5/8" tall, 2 3/4" wide and 1 1/2" deep.

A bushytail (Coyote, Fox or Wolf) has a unique fur coat thanks to the variations within the Picasso marble specimen it was carved from. This is one beautiful stone with a two-tone quality. A heartline from turquoise, jet and mother-of-pearl, as well as azurite eyes, are inlaid to this approximately 3 3/8" long, 3/4" wide and 1 1/4" tall exquisite canine by Cameron Kalestewa. Heartlines represent the essence and breath path. An offering bundle has a mother-of-pearl point with a gorgeous tiger's eye bead.
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.
