Black Marble Bird, Raven by Vern Nieto, Deceased

$ 200.00

A fine polished black marble raven carved by the now deceased Vern Nieto looking backwards with turquoise inlaid eyes. The raven stands on a stone so that his feet can be carved in high relief on the front and the tail to flow downwards on the back.The Zuni have told Sunshine Studio that ravens are filters - they can sieve out the good from the bad. The Zuni believe the ravens are messengers of the great mystery; so they represent a change in consciousness.
