who is believed to have been the first female fetish carver at Zuni, and the
granddaughter of Teddy Weahkee. Lena and her sister, Dinah Gasper, have
established reputations as master carvers, with their carvings highly desired by collectors. This eagle is carved from turquoise and carries a stone bundle and a shell arrowhead base. Dated to 1970's. Unsigned. This fetish measures 1 1/2" long by 1" tall. A wonderful piece of art from an amazing artist. c: 1946-.
