Silvan Panteah: Sandstone, Minx

The mink’s sleek, elongated body is sanded to a smooth finish, capturing the graceful posture and alert energy of the animal. Subtle natural variations in the sandstone—soft tans, light browns, and gentle striations—highlight the contours of its fur and muscles. The tree trunk base, carved from the same stone, grounds the composition and adds a sense of environment and narrative, creating a unified carving that combines natural elegance, artistry, and vibrant detail.

Alex Tsethlikai: Serpentine, Green Mole

A beautifully detailed mole carved from rich green serpentine, showcasing the stone’s natural shades of deep and light green with subtle variations throughout. Its vivid turquoise eyes create a striking contrast against the serpentine, giving the mole a lively and expressive character. The carefully carved body captures the mole’s small, sturdy form and distinctive features, making this a charming piece that highlights the natural beauty of the stone and the skill of the carver.

Mole (K'yaluts'i): Mole’s behavior suggests that we trust what we feel, not what we see as the mole lives this way all the time. For the Zuni people, Mole (K'yaluts'i) is the guardian of Mother Earth.
