Dazzling Dragonfly

By Danette Laate

Animal: Dragonfly, Material: Black Lip Shell
This offering is sold.

Flying back and forth over meadows, prairies and our backyards, dazzling Dragonflies are vital predatory insects who consume deadly mosquitos. Aquatic dragonfly nymphs begin their life in water and are water-quality indicators. Danette Laate's iridescent black lip shell water creature has turquoise eyes. Body inlays are from coral, jet and turquoise. Lovely etching details this approximately 1 1/4" long, roughly 1 1/2" wide and less than 1/4" tall fetish. Many Zunis believe a dragonfly is a messenger who carries prayers.
