By Hayes Leekya

Animal: Bear, Material: Picasso Marble
This offering is sold.

Hayes Leekya continues in his late grandfather Leekya Deyuse's iconic carving legacy. Hayes' journeying Bear sculpted from Picasso marble has an offering bundle which includes a carved leaf element from spiny oyster shell. The leaf addition is a nod to his grandpa who was renowned for unusual carvings of Zuni villagers, hands, feet and plant forms especially leaves. Adventurous eyes are from pen shell inlays, while a lovely alternating heartline or breath path is inlaid from turquoise, red coral and iridescent Pacific green snail shell. About 4 1/2" long, 3 1/4" wide and 3" tall.
