We asked Sarah why she carved birds (eagles) and she said, "Because that's what my dad taught me to carve." She was a sweet, timid little lady and we always enjoyed seeing her on our visits to Zuni. When we first met, she was working at Pueblo Trading Post part time. I have always loved birds and so it was completely predictable that I would fall in love with Sarah's birds. One of the last times we saw her she had made a turquoise necklace with a single turquoise bird. It is one of my favorite things to wear .. and I always think of her.



There are a few different types of amber, each with qualities of their own. Dominican Amber tends to be more yellow, while Baltic amber is darker. Sarah has carved the bird in her usual fashion and given it jet inlaid eyes. Sarah died in January of 2017 at the age of 87. We will always remember her fondly.
