Pipestone Bird, Eagle by Derrick Kaamasee

$ 72.00

A detailed pipestone eagle carved by Derrick Kaamasee looking to its left side with turquoise inlaid eyes with its left wing raised up. The right side of the eagle's face is carved in an area of the stone that is beige and a muted mauve color - quite striking for pipestone. Also; ther are lots of beige colored dots found primarily on the eagle's left wing. Derrick has used different incised lines to depict the tail and wing feather rows as well as feathers - notably found on the eagle's chest. Derrick as carved the eagle's talons in low relief on the perch the eagle rests on. 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.
