Duck á la Salvador Romero

Salvador Romero's duck or loon is a great representation of these fascinating water fowl. The duck has special meaning in Zuni culture for their association with three of the elements; earth, water and air, as well as their ability to navigate each. Salvador's adorable duck is carved from a found stone, smooth while still retaining its natural texture. The carving measures about 3 3/4" long, 1" wide by 2 1/4" tall. Salvador shaped a small oval base to help the narrow carving sit upright, head high gliding over the water's surface.
