Vince Chavez is the brother of David and cousin of Ephran. Of the three, we remember Vince to be the quietest .. with Ephran doing all the wheeling and dealing. He's best known for his buffalo carvings but we haven't seen many pieces from him in several years. We were very surprised and quite delighted to see that this very special carving was made by Vince!

We have never known him to carve a human figure before and this one is so poignant. The Zuni grandmother, with her cane, walks along supporting herself also on the shoulder of the little girl who walks with her. Grandmother's face is inlaid of azurite and the little girl also has inlay of azurite. Both figures have inlay on their moccasins and grandmother has inlay on her robe as well. Turquoise and red coral form a flower design on her back. Very sweet -- VERY unusual -- and one of our favorites from this showing. Signed.
