Alabaster Bird, Eagle by Melvin Sandoval

$ 170.00

A cream tinged alabaster eagle carved in the traditional Zuni style by the abstract carver Melvin Sandoval - mounted to a pink dolomite arrowhead with sinew. The eagle also has a wild horse rock arrowhead added on top of the eagle's back with melon shell heishi surrounding two turquoise beads. The Zuni believe the creator made the eagle to be a teacher for mankind. The eagle is the guardian and master of the sky - revered for its power, strength and dynamic grace. The eagle has incredible vision so eagle medicine calls one to look at the comprehensive whole picture of any situation.
