This 1 5/8" high x 2 1/2" wide Picasso marble Eagle Head w/Shaman carving is by Zuni carver Marlon Lowsayatee. Marlon is a direct descendant of both the Hustito and Lowsayatee families, almost all of whom, both male and female, are carvers.The Eagle typically represents a connection to the heavens as it flies between earth and sky. In this case, Marlon has added the face of the Shaman to the carving, which represents the Shaman flying with the Eagle as he searches for the herbs he uses in his medicines and potions.
