Black Marble Bird, Eagle by Brion Hattie

An outstanding detailed black marble eagle with turquoise* inlaid eyes that looks to one side, perched on a small base of the same stone! Carved by Brion Hattie, we picked this guy up at this year's Santa Fe 2013 Indian Market, from this gifted artist who is half brother to the deceased, Jeff Tsalabutie. There are incised area; the wings, chest and face, that contrast nicely with the polished areas; the beak, base, and tail; quite lovely!
