Herbert Halate's father was the late Leonard Halate who was often referred to as Old Man Halate. He was born in 1914, carving animals since he was a little boy. While herding sheep, he would find white stones and make bears, Coyotes, Wolves and water creatures. He learned from his uncle Ha-ta-pupu who taught him the basic skills. Leonard also conveyed carving knowledge to his children like Herbert, whose latest offering is a wonderful pipestone Bear pendant created in his signature smooth style. Sentient eyes are from turquoise inlays. Including the silver bale loop and nice turquoise beads, measurements are about 1 5/8" long, 1 5/8" wide and 3/8" deep. Prepare yourself for the compliments you'll receive wearing this fabulous pendant.
