A small but mighty eagle, carved from fossilized walrus ivory, whose inlaid lapis eyes make for a piercing gaze.
In the Zuni’s understanding of the six directions, the eagle is associated with the zenith or sky.
Dimensions (H x W x D inches): 1.25“ x 0.75” x 0.33”
This brilliantly bright red macaw is made of bamboo coral (also commonly referred to as apple coral) and captures the intelligence and curiosity that macaws are known for.

Dimensions (H x W x D inches): 2” x 0.75” x 0.75”
