This sweet green turquoise bird is carved by, of course, Sarah Leekya. I have trouble calling them eagles. They look like sweet birds to me, but Sarah called them "eagles". Sarah carved almost exclusively in turquoise and Zuni rock. I had conversations with her about various stones and she really didn’t have much interest in what a stone was apart from what she could carve from it. And most carvers were not nearly as obsessed with stone origins or proper names or mines .. as collectors and traders were.

Sarah passed away in 2017 at the age of 87. This fetish was likely carved between 1997 and 2002. The eagle is well done with properly aligned eye inlay. Sarah’s vision started failing in her seventies, and later carvings will reflect that. The bird has jet inlaid eyes, and is unsigned which is typical of Sarah's work
