Antler Birds, Eagles by Ruben Najera

$ 300.00

A fantastic prominent cream and gray streaked antler convocation of 7 eagles - all carved from one large elk horn by Ruben Najera! The image second from the left shows how the 7 birds are captured in flight with the one eagle on the first image resting on a tree(the one with its wings by its side). All the birds are lent support from the trees that are placed at each end of the horizontal carving - allowing their wings to be spread out in flight with rows of feathers incised on all of their wings and tails. On the far right picture - you can see from the left are five eagles in a row and on the back side; there are two eagles. None of the eagles have inlaid eyes or eye sockets. This is quite a lyrical carving and to discover they are made from one horn shows Ruben's talent, we think. You can see in your mind the shape of the horn used. The Zuni believe the creator made the eagle to be a teacher for mankind. The eagle is the guardian & master of the sky - revered for its power, strength and dynamic grace. The eagle has incredible vision so eagle medicine guides the initiate to observe the whole picture of all situations. eagles perched on the tree carved from other pieces of antler.
