Pueblos in New Mexico procured obsidian through trade as well as geological formations in the Jemez Mountains and other locations. Indigenous tool makers utilized it for arrowheads, knives and scrapers, among other uses. Obsidian is a variety of volcanic glass that formed when hot lava cooled and solidified so fast that crystals had no time to form in it. Gilbert Bowannie's wonderful Bear has been sculpted from a rich black obsidian and inlaid with eyes from turquoise. An offering bundle contains a gorgeous Larimar point. A continuous heartline or breath path is sgraffito etched. Approximately 2 3/4" long, 1 1/2" wide and 1 3/4" tall.
