The stunning masonry of Indigenous ancestral sites like Chaco Canyon in New Mexico and Mesa Verde in Colorado feature carefully shaped sandstone blocks. Sandstone forms when existing rocks break down into tiny sand grains that are then moved by wind or water and settle in layers, compacted, cemented by other minerals and weathered over vast periods of time. Burt Awelagte's handsome Bison displays the wondrous landscape-like formations sandstone is beloved for. Expressive eyes are from turquoise inlays. An offering bundle representing gratitude has fine heishe, turquoise and magical moonstone beads. About 5 1/4" long, 1 5/8" wide and 3 1/8" tall.
