We find it fascinating when Zuni fetishes look like they came from another time .. or another place. This eagle has a very Egyptian look about it. It's made of pipestone by Calvin Peina and this is our very first offering by Calvin whom we're told is the son of Colvin Peina (d.)
Though stylized, it does have realistic features and the featherwork is symmetrical and precise. Calvin has inlaid the eyes of turquoise. Signed.
