Alabaster Bird, Eagle by Evalena Boone

$ 74.00

A prominent brown umber and grayish cream streaked alabaster eagle with turquoise inalid eyes - carved by Lena Boone's daughter; Evalena Boone. The wings are carved as one simplified form with four rounded lines incised from the top moving downwards to the base. Evalena has given the bird a simple offering bundle in the form of a necklace - wrapped around the eagle's neck with sinew featuring two turquoise beads that surround one branch coral bead. The necklace is not glued in place so can be turned whichever way of your choosing. Eagle medicine helps man to gain perspective of self - namely in panoramic vision. The Zuni believe the creator made the eagle to be a teacher for mankind - and due to their ability to fly the highest; they can send our prayers to the great divine.
