Snakes have a lightning association for the A:Shiwi (The People). In First Nations culture, snakes are regarded as guides and heroes. They were one of the most common depictions on petroglyphs, petroforms or stone monuments and sacred birch bark scrolls. Nelson Yatsattie's rich ricolite reptile quietly glides by at a size of approximately 5 1/2" long, 1 7/8" wide and 1/2" tall. A penetrating gaze is from sky blue turquoise inlays. The naturally striped inclusions and speckles are stunning in the forested-hued mineral.
