Turquoise Bird, Sparrow by Kateri Sanchez

$ 150.00

A small turquoise sparrow with a prominent muted cream and brown matrix and lapis inlaid eyes carved by Kateri Sanchez to rest on a small leveled off base on the underside. Feather rows have been incised on the wings and tail. Kateri inlaid a fantastic offering bundle around both sides of the sparrow's body featuring brown pen shell heishi, four apple coral and two turquoise beads surrounding a larger lapis bead. The sparrow meaning in Native culture is joy, contentment, friendliness, inclusion, resourcefulness, and simplicity. According to some Native American tribes, the sparrows were friends of the common people and peasants.
